Pears are so underrated! Every time I buy them (which isn’t often enough) I am reminded how yummy they actually are. They always take a back seat to the other more popular fruit and they really shouldnt.
Cinnamon on the other hand is one of those spices we always have in our cupboard! We add cinnamon to everything! Ok, maybe not everything but a lot.
Life hack: Mix coconut oil, honey and cinnamon together and take a spoonful at a time if you have a sore throat, works like a charm.
Cinnamon buns are one of our favourites and when you add pears and ginger, you really do have a partnership made in heaven! These buns are perfect if yo have people coming for tea or just need something sweet to indulge in!

I agree, pears are so good but we rarely have them. They are almost like candy! I am trying picture the ginger flavor in this. But it sounds delicious.

That pear comment makes me think we should be besties, lol. I love pears like love. I would never have thought of combining pear and ginger. I can only imagine the taste. In that pic, they look soooo good.
Such a unique flavour combination and the buns look delicious as well. I can’t wait to try making this myself
You’re right. I like pears but hardly ever buy them. I think it’s because they’re not as lovely on the counter as apples and oranges, lol. Silly but I think it’s true. This recipe looks great.
I love the combo of pears and cinnamon in this…they look soft and delicious. Such a comforting morning treat.
I never thought about making cinnamon buns with pear or even ginger before, but I’d love to try it out. These buns look super tasty!
