Cinnamon Rolls Or Buns
Sweet, cinnamon-scented rolls with vanilla pudding and brown sugar, perfect for a comforting breakfast or brunch treat suitable for family gatherings or special mornings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put cinnamon in a bag with the rolls; shake to coat.
- Place the coated rolls in a greased, high-sided pan.
- Sprinkle dry vanilla pudding mix over the rolls.
- Sprinkle brown sugar on top of the pudding mix.
- Pour melted butter over the rolls.
- Cover with foil and let sit at room temperature for 8 hours.
- Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, allow the rolls to rise overnight in the refrigerator instead of at room temperature. If you don’t have jello vanilla pudding mix, you can substitute with a similar vanilla custard powder. Consider adding chopped nuts or raisins with the brown sugar for extra texture and flavor. Ensure your butter is warm but not hot to prevent the rolls from becoming overly greasy.
Serving Suggestions
These cinnamon rolls are delightful when served warm with a drizzle of Angel Mallow White Frosting on top for added sweetness. Pair them with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy breakfast or brunch. They also make a great dessert alongside a slice of Pound Cake Supreme or with a side of Cheese And Strawberries for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave individual rolls for about 15-20 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of pudding mix?
Yes, you can experiment with different pudding flavors like butterscotch or chocolate, although vanilla is traditional. Just ensure the pudding mix is not instant, as it alters the texture of the rolls.
What if I don't have Riches dough balls?
If Riches dough balls are unavailable, you can use any frozen dinner roll dough or make your own from scratch. Just ensure the dough is thawed and ready to be coated in cinnamon before proceeding with the recipe.
How can I make these rolls more decadent?
For a richer flavor, consider adding a cream cheese frosting on top after baking. You could also incorporate caramel sauce or chopped nuts into the filling before baking for an indulgent twist.
