Breakfast Recipe: Coffee Breakers

This easy to make cinnamon bun recipe is one of the best secrets of using Pillsbury Crescent Rolls in baking. Your family will love these ultimate sticky buns called Coffee Breakers.

The Ultimate Sticky Bun

After a good friend of mine, Suellen passed away, all of her family and friends gathered at her home. There were many people coming and going all day long. One morning, my daughter Mandy, and Suellen’s sister-in-law, made 6 trays of a breakfast recipe we all love called Coffee Breakers that are a gooey delicious variation of a cinnamon bun.

My friend Suellen had a knack for taking complicated things, especially recipes and making them easier. Coffee Breakers was her most sought-after recipe. She is well known for making them among her friends and family. If she was staying at your house – it was a given that she would be up early in the morning padding around your kitchen making them while everyone was still asleep.

The original recipe was made using yeast and Bisquick and required time for the dough to rise. Replacing these ingredients with Pillsbury Crescent Rolls cuts the preparation time in half.
