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.
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… like toast became a cookie. Awesome.
Ohmygosh. This Spiced Apple Cake is so crazy yummy. Maybe I’m just a sucker for baked apples and cinnamon.
Duh.
It’s vegan. It’s pumpkin. It’s walnut. It’s cinnamon. It’s maple syrup. It’s super dang good.
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!
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.
And!
Tea inspired, Chai Spice Pancakes. Because I will find any and every excuse to make up a new pancake recipe.

Cinnamon is my favourite.
I usually double it in any recipe that calls for it, or add it to any recipe that doesn’t!
I even add it to a lot of my savoury dishes

I’m thinking I need to bookmark this: I feel like eating so much cinnamon now :D

I’m going to make those chai pancakes this weekend – spiced, warm, comforting. Yum! (And I make James Beard’s zucchini bread which is called Cinnamon Bread in my house – my daughters don’t even know there is a vegetable in it! hee hee)

I agree – cinnamon is a comfort food, definitely!

I love cinnamon as well. I was wondering though, how do you feel about cassia bark? I love the earthiness it gives to a dish. I sometimes opt for it over cinnamon. One of my favorite herbal teas is cranberry with a hint of cassia, it reminds me of a nice fall cider. :)

I’d love to try the pancakes – I love chai!
Joe @ Eden Kitchen

Wait! Did you spy on me? My last post was about cinnamon too. I’m so in for everything containing cinnamon. And apples. Oh, autumn is just the perfect time of the year. I love the apple cake and the biscotti! YUM!
michelle

Joy, I found your blog the other day while looking for pan dulce recipes. I found out two things:
1. It’s a beautiful site!
2. You’re hilarious, interesting, and an exceptional baker. And a damn good photographer, I might add!
I actually did an adaptation of your Chewy Ginger Chocolate Cookies the other day. I didn’t have any ginger so I substituted pumpkin spice for ginger and nutmeg for the cloves. They turned out really well! They were tasty and autumn-y.
I really need to get to the store and actually buy some dang ginger already.
And pumpkin puree. I am going to make that pumpkin bread. It looks so good!
I’m so sorry your neighbor threw those cupcakes away! What kind were they?
