If there’s one thing I might love more than brownies, it just might be a good cinnamon bun.
But a good homemade cinnamon bun is weirdly hard to come by. It’s either too bready, too sickly sweet, or not flavorful enough. Or all three.
This cinnamon bun, on the other hand, is none of those things.. You’ve got a moist as heck dough, an awesome cream cheese frosting, and OH THE FLAVOR.
Wanna know the secret? I flavored the dough with Vanilla Paste from Rodelle.
Rodelle is one of my longest clients, and I just love everything they do. Their cocoa powder gives me LIFE (no other brand comes close), I use their Wassail Mulling Spice Blend in my spiked cider every Thanksgiving, and they are the absolute Queens of Vanilla.
Why Vanilla Paste? Well, it’s all the flavor and beauty of vanilla beans with none of the hassle. I just love that it gives you that speckled look without having to cut into a vanilla bean pod!
Plus, vanilla and cinnamon are a lovely pairing together. Both warm, but one more spiced and one more floral.
They work so well in these cinnamon buns, and it makes me feel like cinnamon buns shouldn’t be any other way.
So did I convince you yet? Are you ready to put these buns on your weekend baking list?!

Do you let the whole milk get to room temperature??
Hey Ezra! Definitely! If the milk is too cold or too hot it can kill the yeast!
Amazing recipe can wait to try!
