• Total Time: 3 hrs 20 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 pan

• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg , beaten
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 4 tablespoons water
• 1 (3 ½ ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
• 4 cups bread flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 ½ teaspoons bread machine yeast

Filling

• ½ cup butter , softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• ¼ cup raisins (optional)

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in your machine in order recommended by your machine's manufacturer.
2. Place the pan in your machine.
3. Select the dough cycle and press start.
4. When cycle is finished, remove the dough, knead enough to punch down and roll to 17X10.
5. Combine first three filling ingredients and mix well.
6. Heat in microwave 10 seconds to make it spreadable.
7. Spread over rolled out dough with rubber spatula.
8. Get as close to the edges as possible.

11. Cut into 1/2-1" slices.
12. Place in a lightly greased baking dish with sides.

14. (I turn my oven on warm and place them inside. When the temperature light goes off, turn off the oven. I let them rise 20-30 minutes this way. Take out to heat oven to baking temp.) Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.
15. When the rolls are done top with frosting of your choice.

Lordy Lordy but this is delicious! and so much simpler than doing all by hand. I use my bread machine a lot but never even considered using it to make anything like this.
I made these buns exactly as the recipe states and goodness gracious were they good! They certainly rival the original cinabon buns for sure!
I made one batch for the first time and they were gone in 4 hours....when friends and family learned I was making them here they came.... and the buns just disappeared. POOF .
This recipe will become one of my "keepers" for sure. You will never make them again any other way.
Kudos to paula & Matt!

These are awesome. I made it non-dairy substituting almond milk for the milk and oil for the butter, and I used non-dairy margarine for the butter in the filling. I used both the raisins and the walnuts in the filling.
