Cinnamon buns so good you'll *fall* in love with them. 

Why we love autumn? Where to start... The fuzzy layers, chilly weather, vibrant colors. 

And of-course, all of the pumpkin-y, cinnamon-y, creamy dreamy desserts. 

These Ooey Gooey Cinnamon Buns will whisk you right into fall.

INGREDIENTS:

ROLLS:

• 2 3/4 cups flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 1/4 tsp Instant Yeast 
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup water
• 3 Tbsp butter
• 1 egg 

FILLING:

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup sugar

FROSTING:

• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp brewed coffee

DIRECTIONS:

MAKE THE DOUGH:

• Mix the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast together in a bowl. Set aside.
• Mix the milk, water, and butter together in a heatproof bowl. Microwave until the butter is melted. Pour into the flour mixture. 
• Add the egg. Stir or use a mixer to combine the dough.

• Mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle it on the dough.
• Roll up the dough tightly. Cut into 10-12 even rolls and arrange in the baking dish.
• Tightly cover the dish with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and let it rise for an hour to an hour and a half, until they double in size. 
• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake for 25-28 minutes until lightly browned.

FROST THE BUNS:

• Whisk the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and coffee together.
• Drizzle over the warm rolls.
