As Miranda the creator of this recipe says, I’ve never met a cinnamon bun I didn’t like – except maybe one with pecans (I’m allergic).

If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you’ll know that Sunday’s for me are best spent baking, and cinnamon buns are one of my favorites.  Is there anything more comforting and exciting than the smell of freshly baked cinnamon buns?  I didn’t think so!  Miranda’s recipe takes the humble cinnamon bun and elevates it to another level.  While I thought I might miss the frosting, usually my favorite part of the bun, trust me you won’t.  These are delicious just as they are.  Ooey, gooey, amazing.
