Introduction

Some recipes don’t just fill the kitchen with comforting aromas—they quietly bring people together. This cinnamon-kissed creation was born from moments when words weren’t needed, only warmth, patience, and the simple joy of baking. Soft, fragrant, and gently sweet, this recipe is perfect for slow mornings, shared smiles, and peaceful evenings when comfort matters most.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

2 teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

¾ cup milk (or plant-based alternative)

3 tablespoons melted butter or oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a small baking dish.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix milk, melted butter, vanilla, and honey.

Slowly combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until a soft batter forms. Do not overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared dish and gently smooth the top.

Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Serving and Storage Tips

Serve warm with a light drizzle of honey or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Pairs beautifully with tea, milk, or warm apple juice.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Reheat gently to restore softness.
