Great Summer Recipes

When I want to impress family or guests in the morning, I always make sure to whip up a batch of my favorite almond butter cinnamon rolls. The smell wafts through the house and wakes everyone up in a great mood. It’s a nut buttery twist on the classic breakfast pastry, made with JUSTIN’S® Cinnamon Almond Butter. It’s a favorite in my house and it’s sure to be one in yours, too!
