CHRISTMAS EVE SHORTCUT CINNAMON BUNS



Christmas Eve Shortcut Cinnamon Buns image

This recipe is very similar to monkey bread. It was very easy to make - we love preparing something the night before and just having to pop it in the oven. (It looked like you worked really hard while my family was still sleeping lol.)

Time 8h25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

20 unbaked frozen dinner rolls
1 c brown sugar
1/4 c instant vanilla pudding mix
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 c butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Lightly grease a 10-inch bundt cake pan. Place frozen rolls into the pan and sprinkle with brown sugar, the pudding mix and cinnamon. Pour melted butter over the top. If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a muffin tin, but they turn out better in a bundt pan.
  • 2. Cover with a clean, damp cloth and leave overnight at room temperature to rise.
  • 3. In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls for 25 minutes, until golden brown. Turn rolls out onto a serving plate and dig in!

Found on the Yummly blog. NO YEAST! Yeah now that it my type of cinnamon bun! I also love that it makes a small amount - 4 buns - so no worries of having these goodies lying around too long but also easy to double to serve more guests.
