About Cinnamon

Cinnamon is a spice that comes from the branches of trees of the Cinnamomic family. It is native to the Caribbean, South America, and Southeast Asia.

Are Cinnamon Rolls Vegan?

The cinnamon roll (aka cinnamon bun, and cinnamon snail or cinnamon swirl) is a classic breakfast sweet roll commonly found in Northern Europe (mostly in Scandinavia), the US, and Canada.

Cinnamon itself is vegan! However, some may question the harvesting methods of cinnamon. Cinnamon trees are cut down to be harvested but do grow back fairly quickly. Cinnamon trees also thrive in tropical forests and do not require cleared land to be cultivated. Since cinnamon is vegan, also make sure that you purchased Fair Trade cinnamon products to ensure the cultivators are being paid fairly for their amazing work!

Are Cinnamon Vegan Rolls Good for Health?

Often a favorite at many seasonal events and carnivals, eating just one cinnamon roll gets you close to your daily recommended calorie count per day, as well as your fat intake and sugar intake. There are really no healthy alternatives to cinnamon rolls, as most are way too high in calories and fat.

Health Benefits of Cinnamon

  • Anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.
  • May support gut health.
  • Lowers blood sugar and risk of type-2 diabetes.
  • May be beneficial for the aging brain.

Do Cinnamon Vegan Rolls Need to be Refrigerated?

Long story short, cinnamon rolls do not need to be refrigerated.

This can be confusing, because I think we’ve all seen Cinnabon cinnamon rolls sitting out at the store. But we also know that they’re frosted with that delicious, cream cheese frosting! And cream cheese can’t just sit out at room temperature for hours on end, right?

The judge is out on how long cream cheese can sit out at room temperature, but most sources say between 2-4 hours. With that in mind, you might be shocked to think about cream cheese frosting sitting out for a day or two.

They say it’s best to to store their cinnamon rolls at room temperature for up to 2 days and don’t recommend storing them in the refrigerator.

How to Store Cinnamon Vegan Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting

With this in mind, I recommend storing homemade cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.

If you plan to store them for longer than that, place them in the fridge from the start and store them for up to a week.

However, if your cinnamon rolls have a vanilla glaze they can sit at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Can Cinnamon Vegan Rolls spoil ?

Cinnamon Vegan rolls keep quality for 1 to 2 days on the counter and 4 to 5 days in the fridge. If you need more time than that, freezing is an option too. Cinnamon rolls don’t keep for that long, especially if you let them sit at room temperature and not tightly sealed.

Can you reheat ?

There are some baked goods you should reheat before savoring and cinnamon rolls are definitely one of them. 

Cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed fresh and piping hot right out of the oven. You can re-create that same experience by reheating them.

How you reheat them, however, will determine how dry they taste.

What happens if I eat spoiled Cinnamon Vegan Rolls?

Cinnamon rolls keep quality for 1 to 2 days on the counter and 4 to 5 days in the fridge. If you need more time than that, freezing is an option too. Cinnamon rolls don’t keep for that long, especially if you let them sit at room temperature and not tightly sealed.

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place your cinnamon rolls in a baking dish and cover with foil. Optional: add butter before covering. Heat the cinnamon rolls for 10 minutes or until they are fully warm
