Less sweet sticky buns

[freshbaker]

I made this recipe by Joshua Weissman a few days back (sans the pecans) and flavor-wise, it was great.

However, I'd like to know what I can do to lessen the sweetness of these buns. The glaze combined with the cinnamon sugar filling is a little overboard for me, but I want to keep them both. The flavors go great together.

TIA for any help here.

Sticky buns are cloyingly sweet, that’s the nature of the beast. That recipe actually has less sugar in the filling and glaze than most.

Interesting. Guess I'll have to live with that. Thank you for the info.
