Cinnamon rolls, made by using tortillas. The tortillas are wetted using a wonderful cashew cream, all spiced up with cinnamon. This skips the dough process in its entirety and since tortillas are already cooked, there is minimal baking involved. You have to try these Chocolatey Cinnamon Rolls in Tortillas by Maya Sozer.

Chocolate or cinnamon babka — which is better? In this recipe, you don’t have to choose because you can make one of each! A subtly sweet cinnamon babka and a deeply rich dark chocolate babka. This dough is not identical to the brioche-like bread in a classic babka recipe. Spelt flour gives it a decidedly wholesome flavor. Brushing these Spelt Chocolate and Cinnamon Babkas by Emily Fraser with maple syrup instead of simple syrup saves a bit of time, adds extra flavor, and accomplishes the same beautiful shine.
