A classic favourite that’s baked, not fried. That means that I can have 5 of them, right?

In case I was a little too subtle earlier, I should establish that I love pumpkin. A lot. Two of my other favourite things are coffee and cheesecake, so basically the Pumpkin Spice Latte Cheesecake is my spirit animal. I know that this makes me sound crazy, and I’m comfortable with that.
14. Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread
Oh, banana bread, you saucy minx. You’re good at anytime of day, particularly toasted at breakfast time. The generous cinnamon addition only makes you more delectable.

19. Pumpkin Brown Butter Cupcakes with Cinnamon Frosting
I thought we’d been over this. Pumpkin and cinnamon are a match made in heaven. And by ‘heaven,’ I mean my stomach.
20. Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Buns
Christmas has just ended, which means we’re probably about two weeks away from seeing Easter eggs hit the supermarket shelves. Okay, so that may be a slight exaggeration, but we all know that I’m not far off. My philosophy is that if the shops can celebrate early, so can my taste buds.

This classic cookie is always a crowd pleaser.

“You can’t beat babka” – Seinfeld

27. Cinnamon Sugar Pinhwheels
These bad boys look a lot more delicious than the pinwheels you put in your hair.
