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!

Just tryna get the most cheese on my most simple s Just tryna get the most cheese on my most simple small-batch bagel recipe. Get in on this with me: ⁣
⁣
2 Easy No Yeast Bagels⁣
1/2 cup self-rising flour⁣
4 tablespoons greek yogurt (plus a teaspoon or two more if needed)
1 large egg, beaten for egg wash⁣
1/3 - 1/2 cup grated gouda or gruyere⁣
Everything bagel seasoning⁣
3 tablespoons baking soda with 2 cups of boiling water. ⁣
⁣
Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray the paper lightly with nonstick spray. ⁣
⁣
In a small bowl, use a firm spatula to work together the flour and yogurt. Add a few teaspoons of yogurt if it feels dry and knead into a cohesive ball for 5 minutes or so. Sprinkle with a bit more flour if it gets overly sticky. Cover with a damp paper towel and gather your toppings. ⁣
⁣
Divide dough in two and roll each piece into a roughly 8-inch rope. Bring the ends around and pinch into a circle. ⁣
⁣
Sprinkle the bottom of the prepared pan with grated cheese in two spots.  Pour boiling water over the baking soda and float each bagel in the water for 20 or so seconds.  Use a slotted spot or spatula to transfer the bagels on top of the cheese.  Brush lightly with egg. Sprinkle with more cheese and everything bagel seasoning. ⁣
⁣
Bake for 20 - 22 minutes until deeply golden and bubbling.  Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and smearing with cream cheese.

Cinnamon Rolls but make ‘em Mardi Gras. 💜💛 Cinnamon Rolls but make ‘em Mardi Gras. 💜💛💚⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For the rolls: ⁣⁣
• 3/4 cup lukewarm milk⁣⁣⁣
• 1 large egg⁣⁣⁣
• 1 large egg yolk⁣⁣⁣
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened⁣⁣⁣
• 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting⁣⁣⁣
• 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast⁣⁣⁣
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar⁣⁣⁣
• ¾ teaspoon salt⁣⁣⁣
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
For the filling:⁣⁣
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened⁣⁣⁣
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed⁣⁣⁣
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
For the icing:⁣⁣
• 4 ounces softened cream cheese⁣⁣⁣
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar or glazing sugar⁣⁣⁣
• 1 tablespoon milk⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
1. To make the dough, place all of the dough ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on low until the dough begins to come together. You may want to speed up the process by first mixing all of the ingredients together by hand with a spatula before putting the bowl on the stand mixer. This will help the dough hook work. The dough will come together into a soft, though not too sticky dough ball after several minutes of hand mixing and stand mixer mixing.⁣⁣⁣
2. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and lightly dust the top of the dough with flour. Let rise for 60 minutes while you prepare the filling and icing.⁣⁣⁣
3. To make the filling: Combine the butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon into a paste. Set aside.⁣⁣⁣
4. To make icing, whisk together cream cheese and sugar. Add the milk and whisk until smooth.  Place in a small bowl and refrigerate. ⁣⁣⁣
5. Roll the dough into a 18 x 12 inch rectangle.⁣⁣⁣
6. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.⁣⁣⁣
7. Beginning with one long edge, roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 8 or 10 equal slices. Place the slices in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 30 minutes. ⁣⁣⁣
8. Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F.  Bake the rolls for 30 to 35 minutes, until they’re golden brown and bubbling. Remove the rolls from the oven.⁣⁣⁣
9.  Drizzle icing over the warm buns and enjoy! ⁣
