In reply to Rh. Hi Rh, we've made these with coconut oil many times. I think another neutral oil would work too.

Hi!
Can i swap neutral oil for butter just for the dough?

In reply to Claudia. Hi Claudia 2 3/4 cups means 2 cups, plus 3/4 cup, it sounds like you didn't use enough flour since 3/4 cup x 2 equals 1 1/2 cups.

The recipe calls for 2 times 3/4 cup of flour? My dough was still liquid after only 2 3/4 cups.
Are you sure it isn’t to be 2 full cups, and another 3/4 cup?

I have never left a comment on a recipe before, but this needs to be said: this is the third time making these, and the dough is SO easy to work with! The buns are always delicious- the second time making them was at the request of my BIL (who had them the first go-round) and today I’m making them for tomorrow’s breakfast at the request of my daughter. She’s home for a visit, and these cinnamon buns were high up on the list of things she wanted Mom to make for her. Thanks for the recipe!

Dough was very slack and wet, didn’t seem like the right type of dough for cinnamon rolls. I ended up adding more flour until it formed more off a smooth ball..

I made these today, yummy… I asked Gemini (AI) to work out the cost, since my local fave place charges $5.50 for one cinnamon bun. Here is the result. So happy to see this! To figure out exactly what this specific recipe costs to make in Canada, we can break down the price of each ingredient based on average Canadian grocery store prices (using standard major chains like Loblaws, Metro, or IGA).

Here is the estimated cost breakdown to make this batch of cinnamon buns:
Ingredient Cost Breakdown
Ingredient Amount Needed Estimated Cost (CAD)
Active Dry Yeast 1 packet (from a 3-pack) $1.00
Granulated Sugar ⅓ cup + 1 tsp $0.15
Butter ⅓ cup (approx. 75g) $0.95
Milk ½ cup + 4 tbsp $0.35
Sea Salt 1 tsp $0.05
All-Purpose Flour 2¾ cups (approx. 350g) $0.50
Dark Brown Sugar ½ cup $0.25
Cinnamon 1½ tbsp $0.40
Powdered Sugar 1½ cups $0.50
Vanilla Extract ½ tsp $0.20
Water ½ cup $0.00
Total Recipe Cost $4.35

The Verdict: Homemade vs. Bakery
If this recipe yields a standard batch of 8 large or 12 medium cinnamon buns, your cost per bun breaks down like this:
• Cost per bun (if making 8 large): $0.55
• Cost per bun (if making 12 medium): $0.36
Compared to your local bakery’s $5.50 bun, making this specific recipe at home costs about 10 times less per serving.

I’m not sure what happened with others but mine rose BEAUTIFULLY! I made this recipe once yesterday, and twice today doubling it. I did have to add about 1.5 cups extra flour but in the end the came out great! I sold them at my farm stand and they sold out same day!
