Ingredients

  • 15 frozen yeast dinner rolls
  • 1 ½ tbsp unsweetened almond milk
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar can sub coconut sugar
  • 1 package JELLO dry vanilla pudding mix NOT INSTANT
  • 6 tbsp butter (¾ of a stick)
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, whisk in brown sugar, cinnamon, and milk.
  3. After combined, add in vanilla pudding mixture. Whisk to dissolve the pudding mix and achieve a caramel-like texture.
  4. Once the rolls have risen, carefully remove from the oven. Gently pour caramel sauce over the rolls.
  5. Return the rolls to the oven and bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.
  6. Enjoy! Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days ... if they make it that long ;)
