Cinnamon Buns

Easy Cinnamon Buns Sometimes Called Pull-Aparts – Bread Recipe

by

This recipe is so easy a monkey could make it. Hence the name monkey bread, you think? There is a similar recipe called Breakfast Pull-Aparts.

The main difference is nuts and cherries in place of raisins, and corn syrup replaces some of the brown sugar. Both are listed here. Both are equally easy and delicious.

 

“Land of Nod” Cinnamon Buns

  • 20 frozen dough rolls
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1½ cup vanilla instant pudding
  • 1 to 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1½ cup raisins (optional)
  • 1½ to 1½ cup melted butter

 

Before you put the cat out and turn off the lights, grease a 10″ Bundt pan and add frozen rolls. Sprinkle with brown sugar, pudding powder, cinnamon, and raisins. Pour melted butter over all. Cover with a clean, damp cloth. (Leave out at room temperature.)

Turn out the lights and say goodnight. In the morning, preheat oven to 350� F. and bake for 25 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes and then turn out on a serving plate.

Who would think you could be this organized so early in the a.m.
