Cinnamon Lovers Take Note


Finally there is a product out there that claims it has cinnamon in it and delivers.

I love cinnamon. When a recipe calls for cinnamon, I at least double it. I put cinnamon in my hot chocolate, cinnamon in my apple pies, cinnamon in baked goods and as I child I enjoyed it on toast.

You can never have too much cinnamon in my mind.

But apparently not everyone feels this way; particularly companies that claim to make cinnamon products but only but small amounts in.

I have not found a cinnamon raisin bread that actually tastes like cinnamon. I enjoy a coffee cake that claims it is cinnamon and while the topping succeeds, that cake does not.

But a couple of weeks ago, I discovered Oatmeal to Go Cinnamon Roll granola bars.
I was hooked after the first cinnamon bite and have gone through two boxes since.

Way to go Quakers.

Yummy Cinnamon


Do you know what the world needs?

More cinnamon.

That’s right. All would be right with the world if there was more of that wonderful spice in it.

When I make anything that calls for the reddish ingredient, I double what is asked. Pumpkin muffins, gingerbread, raisin spicy cookies, oatmeal chocolate chip, cinnamon-sugar toast. All of which leads me to raisin-cinnamon bread.

I had a new variety of this bread this morning. Again I was disappointed. When toasting, the wonderful scent of cinnamon is strong. When eating, the wonderful taste of cinnamon is sorely lacking.

The recent disappointment, Thomas cinnamon-raisin bread. Other disappointments: President’s Choice, No Name and Sun-Maid.

Is there a cinnamon-raisin bread out there that has a enough cinnamon?
