CINNAMON ROLL FILLING

Cinnamon Roll Filling is basically a cinnamon-flavored butter. It’s sweetened with sugar and makes a perfect spread for bread, rolls, biscuits, pancakes, and more!

I know what you’re asking yourself. Why would I ever need just Cinnamon Roll Filling?

Doesn’t that belong in Cinnamon Rolls?

Trust me, I didn’t know I needed it either until I made too much for a batch of easy cinnamon rolls and stored the extra in the fridge instead of throwing it out. I then found that I used it on sweet potatoes, pound cake, toast, crescent rolls, and biscuits. As well, I stirred a teaspoon of it in my hot chocolate. It was fantastic. You can even add cinnamon bun butter to your morning cup of coffee.

That’s when I decided, I will always need Cinnamon Roll Filling in my life and in my fridge! ๐Ÿ˜„

Maybe you do too!

CINNAMON BUN BUTTER

When you are preparing to make this is to use real butter, no substitutions, no margarine. As well, you need the butter to be at room temperature. The butter needs to be soft and spreadable so the sugar and cinnamon mix evenly throughout.

    I made this in the mixer and used it for my cinnamon rolls ! Doesn’t spread easily on the dough but if you use your hand and spread it around it does help and the taste in the cinnamon rolls is amazing.

    I’ve always HATED how my filling leaks out the bottom of my cinnamon rolls when they rise. Using this solved my problem! Going to be using this recipe for now until forever. Thank you.

  3. I will be making this as a filling for sugar cookie cake this weekend. Please tell me is it unsalted butter due to the salt in recipe?

    1. I always use salted butter, but it’s really personal preference. If your tolerance for salt is low I’d recommend non-salted butter

      I use salted butter and omit the other. In fact – i even add additional sugar sometimes. Itโ€™s very forgiving!

  4. I hope this all turns out as good as y’all say I do mine like one the other reviewers had mentioned butter surface then sprinkle cinnamon sugar mix over top but that does have you with a lot of the common sugar mix falling out the end ms as you start rolling it so hopefully this paste filling works and tastes as good as a lot have mentioned. Soo we will see and be back later if not tomorrow with results.
