Our Maple Breakfast Buns are easy-to-make homemade sweet rolls. With their irresistible maple nut topping, you'll earn high marks and nobody will guess that you started with refrigerated crescent rolls.
What You'll Need
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
What to Do
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
-
Combine brown sugar, butter, and syrup in an 8-inch round cake pan. Heat in oven 5 minutes, or until butter melts; stir gently to blend ingredients. Sprinkle pecans over butter mixture.
-
Remove dough from package (do not unroll dough). Cut roll into 12 slices.
- Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon then dip both sides of each slice of dough into sugar mixture. Arrange slices in pan, cut-side down; sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture. Bake 18 minutes, or until golden. Immediately invert pan onto a serving platter and serve warm.
Notes
These just beg to be served with steaming cups of our Citrus Tea!

Made it this morning with one adjustment. More pecans!I like pecans on my cinnamon rolls, lots of them. I agree with what everyone else said, these are worth the few minutes to throw together. No leftovers either.

I made these Maple Breakfast Buns for our church dinner. They were a hit. I made two pans of them and not one came home. They loved them. I used two cans of cresants per pan.

Followed recipe exactly the first time. Second time used same recipe except dipped both ends into the syrup mixture then sprinkled sugar cinnamon mixture per instructions. Really loved it this way. This is a winner and will be used often. Thanks Mr Food.....

You did it again "Mr Food," "Ooh it's so good"!!! And a suggestion for (dlita): Try using 'Grape-nuts' instead of the pecans. I've substituted this in other recipes and it works! Hope this will help you; and your right, the bacon sounds petty good too! :-) Sincerely, Sherry (A fellow cook).

My seven year old grandaughter loved helping me make these. They are quick and simple to make and, as my grandaughter said, "yummy in my tummy"! We made them as the recipe called for; didn't feel a need to add anything extra.

Delicious. These are much faster to make that 'monkey bread' or 'pull apart cinnamon rolls'. These will be my new way of doing them. Thank you so much for sharing this receipe.

OMG!!!! This are wonderful and so quick and easy that I was easily able to make them for a weekday breakfast. I did omit the pecans as my children are not very fond of pecans, they weren't missed one bit.

I like your recipes very much. My son who goes to adult day care on 6th ave near you . He is a brittle diabetic with many health problems. Such as gastro parisis and asofigitis and a TBI) brain injury) I have not got an easy life. I have to weigh and measure every thing that goes into his mouth and count all the carbs to come up with the amount of insulin that he takes. I wish that you could give that info with the foods that you make. My son watch's you every morning his name is Larry. If you ever get the time to stop in at daycare just say hello to him and make his day. He is also a vet. Thank you Mom
