Bacon Caramel Sticky Buns Recipe is a simple & easy breakfast recipe that’s ready in about an hour. All that melted caramel goodness in your morning treat. YUM!
Do you love sticky buns? I sure do. When I was expecting my son there was a little restaurant that was a town favorite. They sold what most people there called cinnamon rolls. However, they didn’t have the icing on top. They just had the most delicious gooey caramel, melty brown sugar & nuts encrusted on top. To me, that is more of a sticky bun than a cinnamon roll. But whatever you call them, they are amazing. On top of being amazing, they were gigantic too. We would pick them up all the time & I swear they are the reason my son now loves cinnamon more than anything else. I guess that’s what happens when you live off of something like that when you are expecting 🙂 You become obsessed with foods like this Bacon Caramel Sticky Buns Recipe.

Now, since this IS bacon month I just had to throw that little twist in there & add BACON to these tasty little gems. I mean, you just can’t go wrong with bacon, especially when it’s on something so delicious as a sticky bun. That salty sweet combo is always a favorite. It’s not too much, but you just get a little bit of salt in each bite & it’s just perfect.

Melted Butter, Caramel Sauce & more bacon for topping when serving if desired
Instructions
- In a large mixer bowl, combine water, buttermilk, sugar, melted butter & yeast, stir & then allow to sit approx 15 minutes for yeast to proof. (you know it's ready when it's puffed & frothy)
