Ingredients
- 15 yeast dinner rolls frozen
- 1 ½ tbsp almond milk unsweetened
- ¾ cup light brown sugar can sub coconut sugar
- 1 package vanilla pudding mix NOT INSTANT, JELLO dry
- 6 tbsp butter (¾ of a stick)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the bread rolls so that they rise, according to the package directions. DO NOT BAKE THEM THROUGH. How to let the buns rise without baking them: heat the oven to 200°F. Once the oven is preheated, turn it off. Place rolls in a greased baking dish and into the warm oven. Let rise in the oven for about 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, whisk in brown sugar, cinnamon, and milk.
- After combined, add in vanilla pudding mixture. Whisk to dissolve the pudding mix and achieve a caramel-like texture.
- Once the rolls have risen, carefully remove from the oven. Gently pour caramel sauce over the rolls.
- Return the rolls to the oven and bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.
- Enjoy! Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days ... if they make it that long ;)
