With fall right around the corner, you’ll be wanting to find some tasty recipes to utilize the most delicious fall spice! Although it’s a tasty, sugar-like spice, cinnamon actually has some great health benefits!

It has lots of antioxidants in it which help protect your body from “oxidative damage caused by free radicals,” according to Heathline. Cinnamon also has anti-inflammatory properties and may improve key risk factors for heart disease, including cholesterol and blood pressure. It can lower blood sugar levels and, thus, have a strong anti-diabetic effect! Check out more information on the benefits of cinnamon here!

Perhaps one of the best known cinnamon recipes is cinnamon rolls. This recipe by Serious Eats gives you some delicious, homemade cinnamon rolls!
