There’s a reason cinnamon buns have become almost synonymous with break-fast in so many Jewish homes. After a long fast, the smell of warm cinnamon, sugar, and freshly baked dough feels especially comforting.

But not everyone wants to spend hours making a classic yeasted cinnamon bun after a fast day. So we gathered a cinnamon-bun option for every kind of cook: the traditional fluffy bakery-style buns, quick mug and baking-powder versions for when energy is low, fun bites for kids, a slow-cooker method, a healthier spelt version, and even a cinnamon bun cake that delivers all the flavor with much less effort.

Whether you’re the type who loves kneading dough, the one looking for a shortcut, or the person who just wants something cinnamon-y on the table before everyone starts asking what’s for dessert, this roundup has you covered.

5. Cinnamon Bun Pie by Miriam (Pascal) Cohen

This recipe was originally intended for my first cookbook, Something Sweet. Sadly, under tight deadlines, I didn’t have the time to give this recipe the time and attention it needed. Luckily, I didn’t forget the idea completely, because once I had the time to develop this recipe properly, it became an instant hit and a family favorite!

6. Best Cinnamon Buns by Faigy Grossmann

If you’ve ever strolled through your neighborhood mall, chances are you’ve inhaled the scent of some freshly baked cinnamon buns. It’s absolutely intoxicating! There’s just something so satisfying about a hot drink and a warm cinnamon bun. Cinnamon buns sound like something only a professional baker can whip up, but with this fairly simple recipe, even novice cooks can impress their friends and family. This dough can be made in a mixer or by hand. Since it’s not overly sweet, it’s not over-powered by the sweet filling and frosting.

7. Challah Cinnamon Buns by Shani Malka

My sister-in-law (thank you Chani S.) gave me a delicious cinnamon bun filling that I tried out with my Challah dough. The end results were truly what I was looking for! A moist and tasty treat that sent everyone for seconds. By the time those buns are cool enough to glaze, there usually are not enough left to bother with the icing!

8. Magic Kingdom Cinnamon Rolls by Sara Goldstein

These Magic Kingdom Cinnamon Rolls are soft, gooey, and downright magical. There’s a reason they’ve become so popular for visitors at a certain theme park… and now you can enjoy them too, in your own kosher kitchen. Definitely don’t skip the decadent butterscotch topping; it makes this the treat that it is.

9. Slow Cooker Cinnamon Buns by Faigy Murray

No, that was not a typo. Cinnamon buns in a slow cooker are a thing—they are so good, and the texture is perfect! Because they bake slowly, the texture is extra buttery and delicious.   Note: According to my rav, cinnamon buns made in a fleishig slow cooker are considered pareve items baked in fleishig keilim.

10. Healthier Spelt Cinnamon Buns (Dairy Free) by Odaiah Leeds

Everyone needs some cinnamon buns every now and then…

11. Baking Powder Cinnamon Rolls from the Nitra Cookbook

These sweet treats are a cross between a classic cinnamon bun and a really soft cookie. The lack of yeast in this recipe means it will not yield a fluffy doughy cinnamon roll, but if you’re craving cinnamon rolls and don’t have time to wait for dough to rise, this is the perfect compromise. You might want to consider doubling this recipe; these are that good!

12. Cinnamon Bun Cake by Faigy Grossmann

Cinnamon buns have almost become a “must have” for the break-fast, but I don’t always love the daylong process of making them. Yet there’s nothing like the taste of fresh cinnamon buns after the fast. And so, I’ve found a perfect alternative! Cinnamon bun cake — all the flavor of cinnamon buns with the ease of a basic cake!
