Cinnamon is the kind of ingredient we love enough to cook with all year long, but there’s just something about autumn that gets us especially excited to use it. Perhaps that’s why we’ve found ourselves spiralling into a black hole of cinnamon recipes, searching for new things each day and trying almost any recipe we can get our hands on!
Just in case you adore cooking and baking with cinnamon just as much as we do, if not more, here’s a list of the 15 most unique, delicious, and fragrant cinnamon based recipes we’ve come across so far in our search.

Then perhaps you’d prefer to try your hand at baking a bite-sized version! Check out how Budget Savvy Diva made these delicious miniature cinnamon rolls that are just as good as the full sized kind, if not better.
4. Cinnamon roll coffee cake
If you’re going to make something that tastes like cinnamon rolls, would you rather put a unique spin on the idea and create a treat that’s more along the lines of a dessert rather than something you can technically get away with eating for breakfast? In that case, we have a feeling you might get along a little better with something like this cinnamon roll coffee cake recipe featured on Cakes Cottage.
5. Cinnamon roll bread
What if you’ve been scrolling through these cinnamon sprinkled suggestions looking for something with a density that falls somewhere between cinnamon buns and and coffee cake, because that makes for your favourite kind of treat? Then we’d suggest taking a look at this cinnamon roll bread recipe from Center Cut Cook instead!
6. Cinnamon roll cake pops
Perhaps we really caught your attention when we started talking about bite sized cinnamon roll treats that are simpler for your kids to eat like an individual serving, but the miniature ones just weren’t quite as novelty as what you had in mind? Then maybe you’d prefer something like this delicious cinnamon roll cake pop idea featured on A Night Owl! We love that they even guide you through the process of making the perfect glaze.
7. Easy cherry cinnamon rolls
Has all this talk about classic cinnamon rolls actually got you thinking about whether or not there’s a way to make the treat you love most but also put a unique flavour spin on it?

We thin you’ll also appreciate how simple the flavour changes are to make from the classic idea.
8. Homemade cinnamon French toast sticks

Well, if French toast has ever been a favourite, we’d definitely suggest taking a look at how The Fork Bite made these delicious homemade cinnamon French toast sticks that are soft and satisfying.
9. Cinnamon sugar sweet Chex Mix
Now, we’d actually never head of sweet tasting Chex Mix before finding this recipe, so we’ll admit we were a little bit skeptical at first because we were used to the salty, savoury kind. We’re pleased to report, however, that we were more than pleasantly surprised when we finished making it and took our first bite, because it was scrumptious! See how this cinnamon sugar Chex Mix was made in more detail on Real Housemoms.
10. Caramel cinnamon apple enchiladas
If we had to pair our favourite cinnamon sugar combo with another flavour, we’d be hard pressed to choose between adding caramel or sprinkling it on something that involves apples. Imagine how pleased we were, then, when we found this recipe from Worth Whisking that involves both! Check out how they made these sweet caramel cinnamon apple enchiladas.
11. Maple cinnamon roasted butternut squash
Believe it or not, sweet things aren’t actually the only things you can make using cinnamon; it’s actually a great ingredient for savoury meal elements as well!

13. Cinnamon baked apples

14. Cinnamon baked pears
