Cinnamon: The Greatest Hits

October 8, 2010 by Joy the Baker 81 Comments

Pear Spice Cake

Cinnamon.  It’s a constant in my cupboard.

Cinnamon is that spice that instantly makes baked goods feel extra warm and extra comforting.

The smell from the oven?  Pretty much perfect.

It feels like Autumn is trying to sneak up on us.  Cinnamon just makes sense these days.  Let me show you some things I’ve shown you before.  This seems like a good weekend for some baking.

Pear Spice Cake with Walnut Praline Topping. Rich.  Spiced.  Delicate.  Caution:  you will want to eat the praline topping by the fistful.  You’ll have to stop yourself.  Good luck.

Pineapple Coconut Vegan Banana Bread

Vegan Coconut Pineapple Banana Bread.

That’s a lot of words…. and there’s cinnamon in it too.

This is one of my favorite breads over.  I make it when there’s nothing left in my fridge but dying bananas.

Yea…

Cinnamon Sugar Biscotti

Cinnamon Sugar Biscotti… like toast became a cookie.  Awesome.

Spiced Apple Cake

Ohmygosh.  This Spiced Apple Cake is so crazy yummy.  Maybe I’m just a sucker for baked apples and cinnamon.

Duh.

Vegan Pumpkin Walnut Bread

It’s vegan.  It’s pumpkin.  It’s walnut. It’s cinnamon.  It’s maple syrup.  It’s super dang good.

Oh! Apple Crisp!

If you’ve been here for a while and you haven’t yet made this Apple Crisp, I don’t know what to tell you… this recipe is a game changer.  Trust me.  Please.  Go.  Do.  Go.  Do.  Go.  Do.  Go.  Do!

Brown Rice Rice Pudding

I swear… cooking rice in sugar and milk has got to be one of the best things man has ever created.  Well…that and mouth breathing.  You know that feels good.

Brown Rice Rice Pudding.

Chai Spiced Pancakes

And!

Tea inspired, Chai Spice Pancakes.  Because I will find any and every excuse to make up a new pancake recipe.

    Joy, you have some kind of great blog here, it is totally awesome! Every single recipe is too die for and when I see them I go nutty wanting every single one of them. Do you have a cookbook that covers all of them? I could get fat just reading them! I have made quite a few of the recipes and I have been getting raves right and left. I love to bake and have always loved collecting recipes like yours! Makes me want to dance all over the place, spread my wings and fly and tell everyone out there who likes to bake to come here and see all your wonderful stuff to make. Thanks for all your culinary skills and for sharing them with us.

    I also just discovered this blog and would make everything on this page! I can’t wait to try the Vegan Pumpkin Walnut Bread – I’m always on the lookout for vegan recipes because I too frequently run out of eggs/butter. Thanks for this round up!
