I’ve made this for years for my kids and their friends for post-sleepover breakfast. They LOVE this, and I’ll whip this up on occasion even now! Easy overnight recipe with gooey caramel and cinnamon that is so good!
Ingredients
12 frozen dinner rolls (*see notes)
1 stick (8 Tbsp) butter
1 C brown sugar
2 Tbsp cinnamon, divided
1/2 C sugar
Directions
- The evening before cooking, take the dinner rolls out of the freezer and let sit on the counter until slightly soft – about 30 mins.
- Meanwhile, prepare a bundt pan by spraying with cooking spray.
- Melt the butter on the stove. Add brown sugar and 1 Tbsp cinnamon. Boil to dissolve sugar, then remove from heat.
- Combine 1 Tbsp of cinnamon and the sugar to make a cinnamon sugar mix. Mix well.
- Cut the softened rolls in half. Coat each piece with the cinnamon sugar mixture, and place in an even layer in the prepared pan.
- Pour the warm brown sugar mixture evenly over the rolls. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel, and let sit out on counter overnight to rise.
- In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove towel and plastic wrap, and bake uncovered for ~25-30 minutes. Once baked, immediately invert into a shallow dish, using a rubber spatula to scrape out any caramel remaining in the pan onto the rolls. Enjoy!
Notes
- * You can use frozen dinner rolls (like Rhodes) or sub with frozen cinnamon rolls for extra cinnamon goodness!
