👩🏻🍳 Choosing the Right Cinnamon
When it comes to baking cinnamon rolls, the type of cinnamon you choose can make a big difference. We recommend using Ceylon cinnamon, also known as “true cinnamon,” for its lighter, more delicate flavor that complements the sweetness of the rolls without being overpowering.
Unlike the more common Cassia cinnamon, Ceylon contains very little coumarin, a compound that, in large amounts, can be harmful to the liver. Choosing Ceylon cinnamon enhances the flavor and makes your cinnamon rolls a healthier choice!
