Welcome to my baking adventures.

Caramel Cinnamon Nut Buns

Caramel Cinnamon Nut Buns didn’t last 15 minutes in our house and I bet they’ll disappear quickly in yours too. The dough isn’t very sweet but the filling really shines.

I could totally tell you I got this recipe from somewhere else, and it started out that way, but when I actually got into the kitchen to start making these, I didn’t have half of the ingredients called for in that recipe so I just made do and made this recipe my own. This is not an overly sweet dough, letting the caramel, nuts and cinnamon flavors shine through.

 
 I love using this vanilla with butter nut flavoring instead of plain old vanilla
 

 

 The rolls look crammed in the pan but that’s OK.
 
 

The kids loved the caramel topping, hubby and I preferred a pat of butter on these. Both ways were yummy, and not a bun left after 15 minutes, yummy!    Next time I make these I’m going to use mini chocolate chips instead of the caramel, just thinking about it, may happen soon…….very soon!

Caramel Cinnamon Nut Buns are great.
