4-Ingredient Cinnamon Sticky Buns
Easy Overnight Cinnamon Buns – Best Sticky Buns You’ll Ever Eat!
Itโs going to be 75 degrees today! After hitting publish on this blog post, Iโm closing the laptop, putting on some shorts, and spending the rest of the day outside with my best friend, vitamin D.
My mom used to make these cinnamon sugar sticky buns on special occasions, and they were our favorite growing up. It was a smart way to get my brother and me out of bed in the morning. Waking up to the smell of baked cinnamon buns is so nostalgic. She made these buns on Christmas morning, Easter, and the first day of school.
What is the difference between a cinnamon roll and a sticky bun?
In my opinion, I prefer these buns over cinnamon rolls. They are much easier to make, and they are like eating the centers of cinnamon rolls without all the uncoated bread. They are so good that they do not even need icing. You could add it, but I am telling you, you do not need it. And that says a lot, since I am the type of person who will eat icing straight out of the tub.
To make the recipe even easier, my mom let the rolls defrost on the counter overnight. That way, she could coat the rolls, pop them in the oven, and they were ready to go. I cannot wait to make these for my kids one day. I made them for Kyle for the first time a month ago, and he said it was the best thing he has ever had. You will have a hard time going back to regular cinnamon rolls after this treat.

They are perfect when you have guests staying (imagine waking them up to this smell ๐) and make an excellent dish for a morning work potluck or a friendโs brunch.

Looks amazing ๐โค๏ธ๐๐ฝ Too bad I live in Europe and we donโt have that roll dough stuff here ๐ฅฒ
You can always make the dough homemade ๐
We made these over the weekend when the family visited and they turned out amazing! I loved how easy they were to make and the entire family wanted the recipe. Thank you, Taralynn!
I’m so happy they turned out ๐
TaraLynn,
Have a question from the 4-ingredient cinnamon sticky buns recipe. I didnโt see a recipe for the glaze that goes on at the end. Could you share what I missed??
Thank you for your help with this.
Sj from NC.
I usually mix powdered sugar with melted butter for the top! ๐
Can you make this with brown and bake rolls??
Unfortunately, no. They have to be the uncooked raw dough.
I just made the recipe for Christmas yesterday and my family loved it, so EASY to prepare compared to actual cinnamon rolls.
Thanks for coming back to review! So happy these turned out for you! I love them because they’re much easier than cinnamon rolls and they taste like gooey centers! ๐
