Place the ramekins on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown.

After about 5 minutes, when the cakes have cooled down a little, the moulds can be removed. If necessary, remove the remaining nuts and syrup from the moulds with a spoon and pour over the sticky buns.
Waiting time approx. 1 1/4 minutes
