Pumpkin Spice Sticky Buns

These Pumpkin Spice Sticky Buns taste like fall and use a shortcut to cut the hard work out. Cut up bagels in a brown sugar sauce make this a treat!

PUMPKIN SPICE STICKY BUNS

I made cinnamon rolls on Sunday. They had a fabulous start. Then I checked on them after they were supposed to be rising and they looked sad and lifeless. Turns out my yeast had expired. The moral to my story? Sometimes you can make amazing rolls and sometimes they choose another fate.

These Pumpkin Spice Sticky Buns are no fail, no fuss, and have no yeast in the recipe. Anyone can make these. I’m all about using shortcuts when I can find them and these Pumpkin Spice English Muffins are just the thing. These have real pumpkin in them which makes them extra soft. If for some reason you can’t find them in your store you can use regular English muffins as well. All sticky buns start with some, okay – a lot of melted butter, brown sugar, and pecans. This is going to make your sauce. Don’t try to cut out the sugar on these. Sticky buns are meant to be sticky sweet.
Next, cube your muffins and toss them with some egg, milk, and a cinnamon sugar mixture. Then press the mixture into an 8-inch cake pan.

And this is what it looks like. Gorgeous, right? We devoured this in less than an hour. Enjoy friends!
