I’ve never made a more amazing, flakey, buttery sticky bun before in my life! Sure, I have a favorite cinnamon roll recipe, but these, these sticky buns are a game changer for me!
These Almond Sticky Buns were pretty easy to make and the hardest part was waiting for them to rise! If you’re not comfortable working with yeast-based dough, you can definitely start with this one.
These sticky buns are pillowy soft, with a buttery, brown sugar filling and sliced almonds. What makes them even better? These are topped with Nutella® Hazelnut Spread, which is basically the best thing ever.
I was so thrilled when Nutella® asked me to share their recipe for Good Morning Sticky Buns with you, just in time for the holidays. I don’t know about you, but our Christmas tradition involves some sort of sticky bun to start the morning.
This is something my mom always used to do for us, and something I started doing for my husband. Traditions and food go hand-in-hand, which is why I love creating memories by sharing the foods I love.
This weekend, we got to start our morning with some Nutella® hazelnut spread. I still remember the first time I tried Nutella®. My friend served it for breakfast, spread over a slice of toast and it was like nothing else I’ve ever tasted before.
For these sticky buns, a little Nutella® goes a long way. I used about 1 tablespoon of Nutella for each sticky bun, and I recommend spreading it on while they are still warm. It’s the perfect way to complete the recipe.
If you’ve never made sticky buns before, let me tell you just how easy it is.
How to make these Almond Sticky Buns
- Start by combining the flour, instant yeast and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Make sure to double check the yeast you have. Instant yeast helps achieve the quicker rise time.
- Melt the butter and allow it to cool so it doesn’t kill the yeast. You can even stick it in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
- The melted butter is combined with the sugar, eggs and milk. Once those are combined, they are added to the flour mixture.
- Use a spatula or bench knife to start combining the ingredients until a loose dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and gently knead the dough until it’s compact and is springy to the touch.
- The dough needs to rise in a warm area for about 1-1.5 hours, covered with a damp towel. The dough should double in size.
- Once it’s doubled in size, roll it out on a well-floured surface until it’s larger than a 9×13” pan. Then spread softened butter over the dough and sprinkle with brown sugar and sliced almonds.
- Roll the dough into a log and then slice into 14 pieces. Place in your baking pans, lined with parchment paper and let the rolls rise again, this time for 30 minutes, covered again with a damp towel.
- Once they have risen again, bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve warm with 1 tablespoons of Nutella® Hazelnut Spread.
Whether it’s for a special occasion or a regular old Saturday morning, spend some time making these Almond Sticky Buns, and you won’t be sorry!

Ingredients

- 2 eggs, beaten
For the filling:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup sliced almonds, chopped
For the topping:

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, year and salt and whisk to combine.
- Melt the butter in the microwave for 30-45 seconds and allow butter to cool

- Gently knead the dough in the bowl or on a well-floured surface until the dough is smooth and springy.

- Spread the butter over the dough, coating evenly then sprinkle the brown sugar and sliced almonds over the butter.
- Tightly roll the dough into a long roll and cut into 14 slices. Place them in a 9×13” pan lined with parchment paper. Cover with a damp towel and allow to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve warm with 1 tablespoon of Nutella® Hazelnut Spread per sticky buns
