17 Recipes Celebrating Cinnamon posted by Staff Writer Pin Share Tweet Email Savor the deeply satisfying flavor of cinnamon with us! We feature this versatile spice in everything from butter to popcorn. What is Cinnamon? You wouldn’t think that gnawing on tree bark could be so delicious, but that’s exactly what we’re doing when we eat cinnamon. 😳 Cinnamon, or Cinnamomum verum, is a bushy tree in the laurel family that grows up to 50 feet tall. It is native to Sri Lanka but is now also grown in South American and the West Indies. That trademark taste and aroma that we love comes from the inner bark, which is harvested and dried to preserve it for our enjoyment. Tree bark or not, we are huge fans of cinnamon here at Swanky. We have gathered up some of our favorite recipes here, everything from kettle corn to cinnamon rolls — which deserve a roundup of their own (stay tuned). Our Other Flavor Collections: Pumpkin: Our Favorite Pumpkin Recipes Peppermint Desserts: 29+ Favorites Salted Caramel: A Swanky Collection 9 Irresistible Maple Recipes Big, Fat One-Hour Cinnamon Rolls: This big one-hour cinnamon rolls recipe makes GINORMOUS rolls that take less than one hour to make!! It doesn’t get any better than this. Cinnamon Burst Apple Crisp: I’ve taken my beloved, go-to apple crisp recipe and cranked it up a notch. Because today we’re adding cinnamon morsels. It’s more amazing than most basic apple crisp recipes because there’s a little something extra in the topping: crushed up graham crackers. Seriously, it makes all the difference! Maple Cinnamon Butter: We can’t celebrate cinnamon without this creamy, sweet, unbelievable maple butter with a heavy touch of cinnamon. Similar to the honey butter served at Texas Roadhouse, but the maple in this Maple Cinnamon Butter Recipe gives it a perfect Fall time flavor! Cinnamon Sugar Baked Pumpkin Donuts: These Pumpkin Cinnamon Sugar Donuts are ready in less than 30 minutes! They are baked instead of fried, which makes this recipe simple enough for a quick and delicious Fall breakfast. The whole family will love the incredible flavor, tender crumb, and sweet cinnamon sugar exterior of these donuts. Apple Spice Cake with Maple Cinnamon Glaze: This Apple Spice Cake with Maple Cinnamon Glaze is your new go-to Fall recipe for EVERYTHING. Supremely moist and flavorful! White Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl Muffins: A quick bread recipe transitioned wonderfully to muffin form. These White Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl Muffins are ooey, gooey, and wonderfully sticky! Cinnamon Kettle Corn: I have a serious soft spot for Kettle Corn. I’m even on board with the diet-y microwave kettle corn (which my husband hates). But the real stuff? Ad when it’s fresh? With the sugary, crusty, crunchy coating on each buttery kernel? I added cinnamon to this recipe, and it totally adds a new dimension of flavor! But honestly, I think you could just make it a plain kettle corn batch and it would still rock your socks. White Chocolate Cinnamon Fudge: Cinnamon chips, white chocolate chips, and condensed milk. What’s not to love here? This is so smooth and velvety, sweet and cinnamon-y. You have to try it. SO , SO good. Makes a great gift, too! Cinnamon Oatmeal Blender Pancakes: Oh, gosh. Cinnamon Oatmeal Blender Pancakes are the perfect warm and hearty breakfast for those crisp Fall mornings! Love, love.
