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.

    This is an amazing spread on fresh wheat bread. I used twice the cinnamon as called for unintentionally. (1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, but still used TWO tablespoon full of ground cinnamon.

    I used the spread in some of the loves of bread I was baking by rolling out the dough, painting a layer of spread then rolling back up. Makes a great tasting swirl in the loaf.

  2. So very awesome! They only ingredient adjusted was the cinnamon I used 2 tsp and it was great. Although I’m sure it’s perfect with two tbsp as well. Thanks so much for the recipe.

    Absolutely loved this recipe. I used this on cinnamon rolls and it spread so easily. The flavor is awesome. Definitely need to use the butter in this recipe…no substitutes.

  4. I was just wondering if it’s absolutely necessary to use real butter because all I have is margarine.

  5. Did you mean 2 teaspoons instead of 2 tablespoon for the cinnamon roll filling? I was about to make this and just wanted to double check. I haven’t made anything like this before so I have no basis to assume you’re wrong, I just know cinnamon is pretty strong and I didn’t want to waste the ingredients and kick myself later for not asking. Thanks so much! Looking forward to this. I have browsed a TON of recipes for this “filling” and haven’t found anything quite like yours! I’m super excited to eat this!!! (I guess I have to make it first! Hehehe ๐Ÿ˜ƒ)

    1. I did use 2 tablespoons cinnamon for this. For cinnamon rolls it needs to be really strong or you really lose the cinnamon impact. If that’s too much you can adjust.

  6. Love this idea, Paula! The filling from cinnamon rolls are my favorite so I would eat this by the spoonful! Love your new site design, it’s gorgeous ๐Ÿ™‚
