Made with Love

Maple Pecan Sticky Buns

There’s no need to spend Christmas morning cooking in the kitchen. This recipe can be made the night before, so you can bake it in time for brunch the next day.

Treat your family (and yourself) to irresistible, melt-in-your-mouth sticky buns, fresh out of the oven. They’re warm and decadent, and just begging to be enjoyed with a mug of hot coffee. Best of all? Our easy, scratch-made dough proofs overnight while you sleep!

These pillowy, yeasted buns are baked in a gooey, pecan-studded caramel sauce made from muscovado sugar and bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup. Simply make the dough and prep the buns the night before, then pop them in the oven when you wake up (they only need about 20 minutes to bake).

Here are a few of our favorite brunch board ingredients:

The Fresh Market Croissants These soft, flaky pastries are delicious in options like French Butter, Chocolate, and Multigrain.

The Fresh Market Flavored Bacon Try our thick-cut, uncured bacon enhanced with flavors like Honey Orange, Apple Pie, and Hatch Chile.

The Fresh Market Organic Jams or Jellies Made with fresh, organic fruits, these tasty toppings come in flavors like Blueberry, Apricot, Strawberry, Raspberry, and Grape.

The Fresh Market Brie This versatile, mild French cheese pairs deliciously with breakfast or brunch.

The Fresh Market Panettone This classic sweet bread is made in Italy using the Piedmont Region method. Try it toasted and topped with butter, maple syrup and powdered sugar.

The Fresh Market Mini Muffins These bite-size muffins come in flavors like Banana Nut, Chocolate Chip, Honey Corn, Blueberry Streusel, Blueberry, and Cranberry Orange.

Holiday Grapes These California-grown grapes are prized for their bright-red skin, juicy flavor and extra-large size.

The Fresh Market Fresh Squeezed OJ & Saint Hilaire Brut Available in our Produce Department, our fresh-squeezed orange juice is delicious on its own or paired with sparkling wine. We recommend Saint Hilaire Brut—it’s a lively wine that’s fresh, crisp and dry, with aromas of pear, peach and green apple.

Traditional panettone makes a delicious brunch, especially dipped in (eggnog!) batter and grilled into French toast. Guests who prefer savory bites will love the Bacon and Egg Puff Pastry Tart or Slow Roasted Salmon with Herbed Everything Cream Cheese and Bagels.
