Everyone will jump out of bed for a fresh batch of Easy Lemon Sugar Buns! With the bright burst of lemon zest rolled up inside, these sugar-coated treats are ideal for spring. Pair with coffee or your favorite mimosa!

Good morning, good moooooooooorning!

Now, most of you know I am not a morning person. Like, at all.

I used to be one though! The alarm would go off and I would jump out of bed, ready to take on the world.

However, as I get older, I seem to be hitting the snooze button more and more often. I don’t know if it’s because the Man has the same habits of hitting snooze or if I am simply being hit with exhausted from my 30-something years on this Earth…

All I know is that it takes something exciting to get me out of bed in the morning.

These little easy lemon sugar buns are exactly the thing to get me excited to start my day.

I LOVE pastries like these. Whenever we travel, I’m constantly looking in coffee shop windows, hoping to find a sweet pastry treat to go alongside my caffeine fix.

Half the time it’s how I decide whether or not a coffee shop is worth stepping into.

Judgmental? Perhaps. Illogical? Absolutely NOT.

Now you can turn your own home into you very own little coffee shop!

These sugar buns are so stinking easy to make. You only need 5 ingredients! Most likely you probably already have those ingredients in your house, if you’re anything like me.

The best part is, there’s no fiddling with making pastry from scratch. As much as I LOVE baking, making puff pastry is a whole lot of work.

I took a French pastry class a handful of years ago, and it taught me one important thing. Buying puff pastry is 100% OK.

We all don’t have hours to make it at home, let’s be real.

So go ahead and “cheat” by buying the frozen sheets in the store. 😉

In just a few simple steps, you’ll have these sugary, bright buns in your kitchen alongside your coffee or favorite mimosa. You can even pair them alongside a Blue Spirulina Smoothie Bowl for a sweet treat with your superfoods!

They also travel well, so be sure to bring them to your next brunch or breakfast gathering! Everyone will swooooooooooon.

Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls are what every kitchen needs. With all the different sizes, you can easily make anything you need to!

I loooooooooove my Fox Run Marble Rolling Pin and Base! It’s the prettiest rolling pin and the most functional one I’ve ever used. The rolling pin stays cold, making it easier when you are working with pastry. In addition, it’s nice and heavy so you don’t have to put a lot of strength whenever you are rolling out your recipes.
