Transform ordinary mornings with a syrup that tastes like a freshly baked cinnamon roll. A must-try for every home chef! This is a syrup that embodies the essence of a freshly baked cinnamon roll. We say it tastes like a liquid cinnamon roll. This syrup doesn’t just complement your breakfast; it elevates it, taking pancakes, waffles, and french toast on a delightful culinary journey. And for those sweet-tooth moments, it’s a divine ice cream topping too!
Recipe Tips
- Always use a larger saucepan than you think you’ll need to account for the foaming when baking soda is added.
- Consistent whisking prevents the syrup from sticking to the pan and ensures a smooth texture.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your preference for a stronger or milder flavor.
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Buttermilk: Achieving the perfect texture and taste heavily depends on using real buttermilk. Buttermilk Substitutes might not give you the desired outcome, but can be used in a pinch.
- Baking Soda: Wondering about the baking soda? It interacts with the buttermilk, causing a foaming reaction which gives the syrup its unique texture. Don’t skip it!
- Sugar: while you might be tempted to replace sugar with alternatives like erythritol, remember that it might slightly alter the end product’s taste and consistency.
Variations
Maple-Cinnamon Syrup: Add 1/2 teaspoon of maple extract to the mixture along with the vanilla extract for a deeper, woodsy sweetness.
Pumpkin Pie Syrup: Swap the cinnamon in this recipe for pumpkin pie spice. This incorporates the cozy flavors of nutmeg, cloves, and allspice with cinnamon for the perfect fall syrup.
Chai Spiced Cinnamon Syrup: Incorporate a teaspoon of chai spice mix for a blend of warming spices.
Storage Instructions
Once prepared, transfer the syrup to a jar or other air-tight container and store it in the refrigerator. It will thicken upon cooling but can be easily reheated in a microwave or stovetop.
SHELF LIFE: This syrup stays good in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Made this for breakfas with waffles this morning. Loved it!!
I admit I used half light brown suger as that is what I think of with cinnamon rolls. It was amazing my husband loved it.
Definitely a recipe I will use again.
Thank you for posting it.
I’m wondering if using whipping or heavy cream would work in place of the buttermilk. Has anyone tried this?
It doesn’t turn out well. Heavy cream is very different from buttermilk.
IMade this last weekend for breakfast! Delicious! IToniggt I chopped a banana heated it in a little bit of syrup and served it over vanilla bean ice cream . Heaven!!!
Made this today and it is DELISH! Only prob is that it is rather thin. What can I do to make it thicker? Would cornstarch work? Or?
You can cook it longer and let the sugar caramelize. Be careful with that though, it thickens as it cools and if the syrup is caramelized too much, you won’t be able to pour your syrup without heating it back up again.
Hi… this sounds divine! Must it be real buttermilk, or can the milk + lemon juice substitute be used? Thanks
You can do the substitute, but I find better results with actual buttermilk.
I am doing Keto… can I replace the sugar with Erithytol?
Worth a try!
