"This recipe is fabulous! The dough is so sweet.This comes from the Allrecipes website. I can't believe this isn't posted here so I thought I'd put it here for safekeeping. My husband thinks these are the greatest thing I make. Sometimes I add raisins (his favorite). Rising time isn't included in the time but it takes about 3 hrs. total time."

I made a batch of these for a dessert at a family BBQ substituting the sugar with splenda for my grandma, also I didn't add the frosting. They were so popular I had no chance to try them myself. I am definitely going to do these again, next time making two batches one with sugar and one without.

Oh, yeah. No whole wheat flour or vanilla pudding, please. I make these without the aid of a bread machine. If you've bake bread before, you'll know what to do, know the feel of the dough and the procedure (proof, knead, etc.) Now for the filling. The first time I made these, I made the filling recipe, but I didn't quite get the gooey cinnamon middle I was hoping for. I bought this stuff from King Arthur a few years ago called Baker's Cinnamon Filling or something like that. That did it. Then they were absolute perfection!

THIS IS THE ONE. Because it is so popular (and delicious) other fakers have uploaded cinnabon's of a similar name - but with questionable ingredients such as: what flour (yuck) and pudding (blechch). Want a perfect Cinnabon bun? Here you go. When I first found this recipe it was the only one on this site. Now I have to sift through a bunch of icky ones to find this one. It's FABULOUS. It is the only cinnamon bun recipe I use, ever. It's perfect!

This is the only cinnamon roll recipe I will ever use, I put it in the vault, everyone loves it, my husband's first choice, I've even had to send them to college with my cousin he loves them so much. I am sending it to my grandma right now!

You will never find a better recipe as close as this one is to a real Cinnabon. It's so easy to make! My husband has made them many times and has given them to friends and family at Christmastime. He attaches the recipe now because every person he gave them to ask for it. You will NOT be disappointed.
