Cinnamon is one of the most used and most beloved spices out there. I don’t know if I love the warm, subtly sweet, spicy flavor or its fragrant smell better. It adds a cozy goodness to oats or oatmeal bakes, it pairs perfectly with a pinch of sugar as a tasty topping on a variety of treats and it’s a star ingredient in a popular recipe—my Cinnamon Buns. Check out the recipes below for some cinnam-inspiration!

Remember to store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place so it stays fresh. It can last for two years, though you may notice the flavor lessens over time. Feel free to use cinnamon sticks during the cooking process—don’t forget to remove before serving; sprinkle or stir ground cinnamon into dishes for enhanced flavor; or the powder, a finer version of ground cinnamon. All are delish and offer benefits.
