Cinnamon Roll Filling is basically a cinnamon-flavored
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
That’s when I decided, I will always need Cinnamon Roll Filling in my life and in my fridge! 😄
Maybe you do too!

Couldn”t remember the amounts of butter and sugar of another recipe I usually use. Thought this one tasted better but I always add some nutmeg and a little ginger for a flavor boost. Thank you for this recipe.
Excellent recipe

Thank you, this is the exact kind of recipe site there isn’t enough of on the internet. I don’t need a three hour long explanation on your life and some ridiculous story about your recipe before I even get to see the recipe. I can not wait to try this filling of yours, it clearly has the proportions of a true cinnamon lover, also those other recipes recipes listed along side it seem like good uses of cinnamon filling, not just cinnamon buns. I enjoyed your site and will definitely come back and have a look at other recipes, what a refreshing joy this site is.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Anna! I hope you find more recipes you enjoy.
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.
That’s a great idea! I’m sure the bread was delicious. Thanks for your feedback.
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.
I was just wondering if it’s absolutely necessary to use real butter because all I have is margarine.
It will be different, more ‘watery’, and not as good in my opinion
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 😃)
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.
This is so genius, Paula! I’m sure this would make a delicious toast topping. PS: I love your new design 🙂
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 🙂
I could eat that straight from the bowl!
