I followed this recipe exactly as written except I used frosting from clone of a cinnabon (wonderful frosting) this recipe was good but I dont think it is as good as cinnabon, it was soft but not very gooey, maybe next time I'll add extra brown sugar & cinnamon. An over all good recipe but doesn't have that wow factor

this is a great recipe! i've never made C-buns before, but will definitely make again. ours didn't rise (or not noticeably) but that didn't change much apparently. the goo didn't present a problem like it did w/ other reviewers either. i did deviate from the recipe a bit by using 1tbsp honey instead of sugar for dough (might have prevented substantial rising). next time i'll try some splenda instead of br. sugar and more cinnamon for the filling. also, i'll use my kitchen aid w/ dough hook since my bread machine's blade had issues kneading the dough once it got tougher. also, my sugar dressing consisted only of a bit of milk and confectioner's sugar, so that it's not too heavy and just gives a light sweetness. might try one of the cream cheese recipes in the future. definitely a keeper recipe!!!

This is the sweet dough I will be using for all my cinnamon buns, monkey breads and sticky buns from now on. It comes up lightly sweet and soft, very delicious.

These cinnamon buns are AMAZING! I used to be hooked on the Clone of a Cinnabon recipe but have replaced it with this one! Delicious and easy to make!

These were really good!!!! The only problem with mine was that they didn't rise. So they were kind of dense. But they were REALLY good!!! I will make them again. PS-The amount of milk for the icing is way off. It says 1 tsp, but you need more than that. I didn't really measure how much I put in. I just added milk til it was the right consistency.

We tried these during the Christmas holidays and they turned out good. Not quite as moist as I was hoping, but everyone liked them. Thanks for sharing this.

I tried many cinnamon rolls recipes b4, and ended up sticking with "clone of a cinnabon" from this site for a while, until this recipe caught my eye because of the pudding mix. I tried it and it really is moist and gooey! So delish. Everyone loved it. Very comparable to clone of a cinnabon recipe though. Not better or less good. That is why I might stick to the other one, just because it is more simple and more natural(no use if pudding mix!). Thanks for sharing!

These were very good! I did not have a bread machine so I used my KA mixer with the dough hook. I had to add a little more flour to get the dough the right consistency (maybe a couple more tablespoons). I let it rise for about 1-1/2 hrs., punched it down, let it rest for about 5 minutes, then rolled it out and followed the directions from there. The only thing I did differently was to use maple flavoring instead of vanilla and I used three 9" round cake pans so I could give one of the pans away for a gift. I think next time, I will add a little more butter and definitely more cinnamon. It did not have as strong of a cinnamon flavor as I would have liked. Oh yeah, I also made a little extra of the topping. A definite keeper!

These were pretty good. Still nothing like a Cinnabon though. But quite nice for homeade cinnamon rolls.

Great recipe! I did make cream cheese frosting instead of the plain vanilla frosting. Also, I made 1 1/2 times the filling after reading the other reviews, but it still could have used some more. Next time, I think I will double the filling. I felt that if you are looking for a recipe exactly like Cinnabon, the dough is not quite it, but they are still very good, just not Cinnabon good.

I found this recipe to be the absolute BEST for cinnamon buns! Would give it 10 stars if I could! Have tried many others, including the Clone to a Cinnabon and found this to be superior. Clone was good but not exactly a clone. I followed the recipe to a T and couldn't believe how delicious these were! I agree that this recipe should be rated much higher. Give it a try, I am sure you will agree that it is the absolute best around....and user friendly too! After about 5 tries I decided to try the Cinnamon filling sold by King Arthur Flour....What heaven that was!! No runout and strong cinnamon taste. You may want to try it for yourself!

Wonderful....used my bread machine and they were a HIT! They were really light. Pretty much made as directed, but for the filling I used both brown and white sugar, butter and cinnamon. I don't measure, just spread until I think I have enough. I didn't use the frosting....The best frosting is the one used for the clone a cinnabon. Will make these many times I'm sure. May be the best recipe I've tried from this site.

First this recipe is fantastic! I made it by hand just using a fork. I used the mixing directions for mixer or hand. Those directions forget to mention the salt and instant pudding. I added them to the wet mixture before adding the flour. I used regular yeast (not bread machine yeast) and bread flour. I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. The dough was so nice and manageable. Before taking them out of the oven, I put a little margarine on each right before taking them out of the oven. This made them golden brown. I also added a little extract vanilla and milk to the icing. These were soooo good! I plan to take a batch to my mother's house for christmas morning.

So, so good! I do think that I like these better than "clone of a cinnabon". They are softer and have that extra something that the other recipe is missing (I think it's the vanilla pudding!) I always make the night before (roll, slice and put in greased dish) and then in the morning, I put the oven to 200, put a hot, damp towel over the rolls then put the rolls in the oven and TURN IT OFF and leave them in there for 30 min. Then I take out, pre-heat and bake for 20 min. Here is the icing I use: 7 Tbs butter 2 oz cream cheese 1.5 C powdered sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/4 tsp salt Whip until fluffy and add to hot rolls!

This recipe is great! The dough makes rolls with perfect texture and sweetness and it seems to be a fool-proof recipe. I make the recipe with no changes other than using part whole wheat flour in the recipe, since we do most of our baking with whole wheat.

I made these exactly according to the directions. They are wonderful! They are rich, light and soft. Do not even need frosting they are so good! Probably in the top 5 of everything to ever come out of my bread machine. I am already thinking of other applications for this divine dough.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! I have tried alot of recipes for cinnamon buns over the years and never found one worth making again. Now that I live far from a mall that has a cinnabon (which disapointed me on my last visit) I never have to be deprived again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
