These Homemade Cinnamon Buns are a classic recipe and they are topped with cream cheese frosting. These gooey cinnamon buns satisfy your sweet craving and they feed a crowd - perfect for holiday or weekend mornings! (makes 12 rolls)
Hi Everyone, these Homemade Cinnamon Buns are the kind you dream about, they are like bakery-style cinnamon rolls, nice and large but they are also gooey due to being baked with heavy cream poured over them and also being topped with cream cheese frosting.
Ah, they are just cinnamon roll heaven.
This recipe makes plenty of cream cheese frosting too, enough for each cinnamon bun to get it's fair share.
Isn't it the worst, rationing out frosting?
This recipe makes sure that no one will be left out of getting enough frosting 🙂
They are the perfect partner for a hot cup of coffee or tea and the kind of food you want to linger over on a Saturday or Sunday morning.
Linger over and really savor how good they are.
You can make these ahead of time, the night before, so that you can just reheat them in the morning which is what I usually do.
Here are the ingredients for these delicious cinnamon rolls and cream cheese frosting:
Dough for Cinnamon Buns
Cinnamon-Sugar Filling
Cream Cheese Frosting
These Homemade Cinnamon Buns are so good on their own, I find that you don't even need the cream cheese frosting, but it's oh, so nice when it's there 🙂
If you make these Homemade Cinnamon Buns, share them with your friends and family.
There's plenty to go around.
The amazing thing about these buns is that they are so moist and gooey when they come out of the oven, they actually have cinnamon-sugar "juice" that you can spoon on top after you cut them out of the baking pan.
I have made cinnamon rolls before on my blog but I have to say, these Homemade Cinnamon Buns are my new favorite.
I know you will love this Homemade Cinnamon Buns recipe!

I do not eat eggs so can I use mashed potatoes or as a substitute ?? It always makes the dough fluffy and gorgeous
Sara says
I haven’t tried mashed potatoes as a substitute so I can not vouch for that, I know that the eggs contribute to the texture and bind the dough together, if you try it let me know how it works out!
