The comforting combination of warm butter, fresh bread, and peppery cinnamon is a smell – and taste – like no other. We’ve rounded up eight recipes that take the iconic cinnamon bun flavor into other dishes. Think cinnamon bun cookies, cinnamon bun cheesecake truffles, cinnamon bun ice cream (are you drooling yet?) and even a vegan cinnamon bun cauliflower smoothie.

1. Cinnamon Bun Cookies from Wanna Come With

From the website: “Prior to adding the glaze, the cookie has a more subtle flavor. It’s okay, but in my opinion, the glaze adds a touch of extra sweetness that the cookie needs. It doesn’t overpower the cinnamon, but makes the cookie taste more like its namesake. The cookie has a bit of crunch, but is overall soft and tender. One of my coworkers declared this cookie “life-changing.”

6. Cinnamon Bun Ice Cream from Away From the Box

From the website: “This recipe is literally a cinnamon bun in a bowl, and borne from my love of cinnamon ice cream. My local grocery store has an “artisanal” brand, which carries a fantastic cinnamon flavor. But at $5 a pint, I’m gonna have to pass. Hard pass. My recipe is better AND cheaper.”
