Blue Ribbon Recipe by

This is my latest twist on sticky buns. I added a mashed banana to the dough and some raisins in the center. They are incredibly good topped with nuts and a maple caramel glaze. The only problem is that you won't be able to stop eating them! I've devised this recipe for my bread maker as it makes the smoothest dough.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

With a gooey caramel nut topping, this is a delicious and easy sticky bun recipe. The buns themselves are light, fluffy and filled with banana, raisin, cinnamon, and caramel flavors. Topping the sticky buns with crunchy nuts is a yummy combination. Using a bread machine makes preparing this sweet treat a breeze.
