To make a Cinnabon cinnamon roll flavored syrup, start by combining 2 cups of packed light brown sugar and 1 1/4 cups of water in a medium pot. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a moderate simmer and cook for about 4 minutes.
Next, turn the heat to low and whisk in 1/2 cup of salted butter, adding one pat at a time until fully melted. Once the butter is melted, remove the pot from the heat and stir in 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined.
Serve this delicious syrup warm over your favorite waffles or pancakes. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you want to use the syrup again, reheat it gently to enjoy the rich flavor.
This syrup captures the essence of Cinnabon cinnamon rolls, adding a sweet and buttery flavor to your breakfast or dessert. It’s simple to make and perfect for adding a special touch to your meals.
