Homemade Cinnamon Pancake Syrup Recipe

Homemade Cinnamon syrup is liquid gold and perfect for pancakes, waffles, French toast or even drizzled over warm oats!

You might think that my obsession with cinnamon syrup is a bit overboard, but that’s just because you haven’t tried it yet!

How to Make Cinnamon Syrup

All you need is one saucepot and three simple ingredients: ground cinnamon, cinnamon sticks, and maple syrup!

Combine the ingredients in the saucepot, heat over medium-low heat and congratulations! You’ve made your first batch of liquid gold. Talk about E-A-S-Y!

How to Make Syrup Using Fresh Cinnamon Sticks

Essentially this is cinnamon infused maple syrup. The process of heating cinnamon sticks in syrup melds the two flavors together and let me tell you, it’s a match made in heaven.

Be sure to use fresh cinnamon sticks which you can find in the spice section of the grocery store. You can keep the cinnamon sticks in an airtight container for up to 6 months for future syrup making.
