Cinnamon Frosting
You guys have absolutely been loving my frosting recipes, so of course, I’m going to give you more. We gotta feed that sugar addiction now don’t we?
My Peanut Butter Frosting has been one of my most popular posts this year and while it’s super good, like SUPER good, nothing quite captures the cozy taste of home like cinnamon.
Cinnamon not only tastes amazing, but it’s good for you too and since there’s a whopping 2 tsp of it in this frosting that means the whole bowl of it is really “healthy”. Trust me on this one 😉
So slather it on your cookies and cakes and burgers (just kidding) and enjoy!
