Cinnamon Buns and Cinnamon Rolls are pretty similar but the difference between cinnamon rolls and cinnamon buns is that cinnamon buns are less doughy, heavier in brown sugar, and heartier, thanks to the infusion of nuts.

Cinnamon Buns are also known by the name sticky buns in some places as well.

Cinnamon Rolls are softer and fluffier than cinnamon buns and have a stronger salty, butter flavor because the cinnamon rolls require a double rise in preparation.

So the difference between the cinnamon rolls and cinnamon buns is basically just in the way they are prepared and the ingredient difference.

And cinnamon rolls are made in a spiral fashion while cinnamon buns are usually just made in a more flat and rectangle version but I have seen some cinnamon buns made just like cinnamon rolls so they can sometimes be confused with each other.

They are in a way similar to each other but do have some differences.
