Poppy Seed Cinnamon Buns


Daddy Ladybug doesn't like raisins so I try to find alternatives in traditional recipes.

I grew up with poppy seeds in cinnamon buns, a tasty alternative passed on from generation to generation, so I decided to carry on that tradition and replace the raisins with poppy seeds in my cinnamon buns.


Poppy Seed Cinnamon Buns

One dough recipe of Grandma's Dinner Buns
1/2 cup Butter, melted
2 cup Brown Sugar
4 tsp Cinnamon
4 Tbsp Poppy Seeds
1 cup Cream

Divide dough in two. For each 1/2 of dough: roll out each piece in approximately 8x12, 1/4-1/2" thick. For each half, top with 1/2  of each - melted butter, brown sugar (coating evenly), cinnamon & poppy seeds. Roll up like a jelly roll. Start at one end and roll evenly & tightly all the way across. Keep rolling until all the dough has been rolled. Pinch the seam to seal. Slice into 1 inch thick slices. Place on a well greased pan and pour cream evenly over each pan to help make it moist and caramelly. Bake at 375F for about 20 minutes until nicely browned. While still warm, tip over on to another pan and let cool upside down.

oooey goooey caremelly goodness!

  1. WOW. This looks amazing! Your technique is like nothing I've ever seen (the poppy seeds and cream?!?!) but I must admit that I'm smitten! I have to cook gluten free for my family so I am going to take my trusty gluten free cinnamon roll dough recipe and make rolls just like yours. I am so glad I happened upon your blog, I'm going to have so much fun looking around! Thank you so much!

  2. I made these tonight and they were so good! I made them gluten free using my own dough but added poppy seeds to the dough and poured cream over the rolls. They turned our really delicious! I love the little crunch the poppy seeds gave to the roll! Thanks for the inspiration and yummy recipe.
