Maple Bacon Pecan Cinnamon Rolls {and What’s in Your Kitchen Wednesday}
I’m throwing a party today. And I’m hoping you show up and share some treats of your own.
But I couldn’t show up to my own party without sharing something fun with you. These cinnamon rolls are easy, no fuss, and make an awesome presentation on your breakfast table. They also make an awesome presentation in your mouth.
These rolls turned out light and fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness from the brown sugar, maple syrups, and the bacon. I suppose you could easily make a glaze to drizzle over the top, but I didn’t want anything to detract from my candied bacon.
- 12 frozen white yeast dinner rolls (like Rhodes)
- 10 slices bacon
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 small box butterscotch cook-and-serve dry pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 stick butter
- Thaw frozen rolls in the refrigerator overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350. Cut bacon into small pieces and brown over medium heat, about 4 minutes; drain. Mix syrup, brown sugar, and pecans. Stir in bacon and divide among 12 cupcake tins sprayed with nonstick spray.
- In medium bowl, mix buterscotch pudding and cinnamon. Melt butter. Roll thawed rolls into melted butter and then into butterscotch mixture. Place 1 roll over top of syrup mixture in each cup. Let rise until double in size, about 1 to 2 hours.
- Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately invert onto a baking sheet. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Okay, on to the party! Since this is my very first one, I would love it if you would help me spread the word. A party isn’t a party without all of your best bloggy friends, right? So I would be thrilled if you would invite your friends – tweet, Facebook, blog, and Instagram your friends and tell them to come link up!
I’m partying here!

10 EASY SLOW COOKER MEALS RECIPE BOOK
Hello There!
Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking.  In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.

EEEEEK! Your very first party! I’m so glad you invited me, and I apologize in advance I’m not dressed for the occasion.. unless the occasion was yoga pants and slippers, hehe. Those cinnamon rolls look DIVINE. Sweet, salty, and crunchy.. talk about perfect. Candied Bacon.. I almost wish that were my name. It’s heavenly.

Thanks, Alyssa!
Congrats on your first party! The pics of your cinnamon rolls are beautiful! I keep hearing about bacon on sweet treats, but I have yet to try it. Yours looks awesome! I linked up my frothy peppermint hot chocolate. I hope you like it.
I know, bacon on sweets sounds kind of weird, doesn’t it? But it is soooo good. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
These look amazing! Will be making them soon.

I hope you like them, Terry. It was a compromise breakfast item for my husband (bacon) and me (maple rolls).

Eeek, thanks, Aimee!
Love the link party! How fun, Ashley! I don’t eat much bacon but I love the smell of it! I think I’d make these with bacon for Kevin and without for me. 🙂 The butterscotch pudding mix added – NICE touch!!
I actually don’t eat a lot of bacon, either. Truth be told, I put the bacon on my husband’s rolls and the pecans on mine. 🙂
Ooh, these sound wonderful. And your pictures turned out gorgeous!

Heather recently posted..Easy {no-bake} Gingerbread Treats
Oh Heather, you are so sweet. Thank you! I use a Nikon D3100 and a 50mm lens – I mostly shoot in aperture priority mode, but I’m trying to learn manual mode (although those pictures haven’t made it on the blog yet–lots of learning yet to do).
