My Review: Buff Bake Cinnamon Roll Protein Peanut Butter Spread
Review: Loved this flavor!
Rating: A
Tasting Notes: It's a cinnamon roll in a jar, perfect flavor combination, not overly cinnamon
Thanks for joining me as I rate my second peanut butter spread! If you missed my first review of another Buff Bake classic (snickerdoodle), check it out here.
This peanut butter spread caught my attention because of its name, I mean HELLLLOOOO it's called "cinnamon roll!" Who doesn't love a good cinnamon roll? The one thing that did catch me off guard is the little pieces of raisins in it, but it did not hinder the taste is any way.
If I had a sweet tooth I ate a spoonful of this peanut butter and it did the trick! I also swirled it on a piece of toast with pumpkin cream cheese, OMG! It's so good you need to try it. Don't give me that judgy face---can't knock it until you try it!
Also, I loved the added protein in it and that I could enjoy it without the guilt of all the extra calories a normal cinnamon roll!
So onto the good part! What should you pair this peanut butter with?!
1) A dollop on yogurt
2) Layered with banana on top of pancakes
3) Toast
4) Add 1-2 tbsp into a smoothie
5) Overnight Oats
Lets just say if I got a jar of this for my birthday, I wouldn't be mad. :-)
Have a funky, delicious peanut/almond/pecan spread you think I should try? Tell me below and I will add it to my list! I am always on the lookout for a new flavor to add to my pantry.

Halloween Themed Recipe #6- Countdown to Halloween!
There is nothing better than waking up on a Saturday morning and making pancakes, am I right?!
A few weekends ago one of my girlfriends, Annie, was in visiting from out of town. Whenever I have friends over I always like to make a fun and delicious breakfast, one because I am Italian and that is how my mom taught me to entertain and two because I like to make elaborate breakfasts on the weekend.
So we started prepping everything. Before I go on any further I should preclude that my friend Annie doesn't cook a lot nor does she know how to cook {these are her words not mine!} so it was fun teaching her how to make pancakes. We made the batter and I showed her how to make pancakes on the stove. We were making chocolate chip pancakes for her and my boyfriend.
Funny Story. About halfway through cooking the pancakes I had to use the restroom and I knew the pancakes were going to need to be flipped, remember she doesn't really know how to cook. So she says excitedly "go ahead! I will watch the pancakes." I had this overwhelming sense on panic because all I could think was "oh my gosh she doesn't know how to flip the pancakes...they are going to get ruined!" But I walked away and let her do her thing. A few seconds later I hear "Uh oh!" and then an excited scream. So I rushed back into the kitchen only to find that she accidentally flipped one of the pancakes on top of another one, but she had also successfully flipped her first pancake. It was a great moment :-)
While the pancakes were finishing up I realized I wanted to try and make a batch of healthy pumpkin pancakes. So I threw some ingredients together and hoped it worked! Which it did by the way and that is how you have come to be blessed with this delicious recipe!
