Introduction

Cinnamon and coconut oil have become two of the most popular natural ingredients used in homemade wellness recipes. When combined, they create a warm, aromatic blend that may help support metabolism, balance blood sugar, and curb cravings. While neither ingredient is a miracle fat-burner, adding them to a healthy routine can complement balanced eating and regular exercise. This simple recipe is easy to prepare and can be enjoyed in multiple ways throughout the day.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon coconut oil (virgin, unrefined preferred)

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (Ceylon cinnamon is ideal)

1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

A pinch of black pepper (optional, may enhance absorption)

Instructions

Warm the coconut oil slightly until it becomes liquid, but do not overheat.

Stir in the ground cinnamon until fully blended.

Add honey or maple syrup if you prefer a lightly sweetened flavor.

Mix until smooth and well incorporated.

Enjoy by itself, spread on toast, stirred into warm tea, or added to oatmeal.

Serving and Storage Tips

Serving size: ½–1 teaspoon at a time is usually enough.

Best time to enjoy: Morning or before a meal to help manage cravings.

Storage: Keep the mixture in a sealed jar at room temperature for up to two weeks.
