Ooey gooey mini caramel sticky buns made with only 4 ingredients and ready in just 20 minutes! These tasty little breakfast buns are amazing!!
I’m going to be honest, these are probably the greatest thing to ever come out of my kitchen. Well…for today anyway. Yesterday I could’ve said it doubt those chicken pineapple tin foil dinners and tomorrow I’ll probably say it about something else but for now, I’m 100% head over heels obsessed with these sticky buns. They’re like pillows of heavenly sticky caramel goodness.
I can’t. stop. eating them.
S.O.S.!
I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that these only have FOUR ingredients. Just 4! and only take 20 minutes start to finish. On the one hand, totally insanely awesome and I can see no reason why these can’t happen every morning for the rest of my life.
On the other hand…. probably should eat something other than mini caramel sticky buns for the rest of my life, ya know? Something with like… protein maybe? Oh wait, pecans, we’re good. Phew!
That was close.
Gahhhhhhhhhh just look at their ooey gooey caramely-ness! And if you’re a caramel luvR, like yours truly, and have a jar of caramel sauce in your pantry just waiting to be devoured (I know, it’s difficult to keep it stocked when you love caramel so much, but if you do have some…) don’t hesitate to pour an extra boat-load right on top of the sticky buns before serving them. No one will fault you for adding extra caramel, trust me.
Mini Caramel Sticky Buns {4 ingredients)
Ingredients

Instructions
