Everyone needs a gooey, sticky cinnamon bun recipe in their repertoire—not only for brunchy mornings, but for showing up with anytime you want to make someone ecstatically happy. My go-to recipe makes two pans: one to eat immediately, another to share, or wrap and freeze to bake on another day.
If you want to assemble them the night before to bake in the morning, you can slow the rise by putting them in the fridge overnight; take them out and let them warm up on the countertop while you preheat your oven.
