If it’s a recipe by me FOR me, it involves peanut butter. If it doesn’t involve peanut butter, I didn’t make it the way I would truly want it. 😉
These cinnamon buns can easily be modified to be vegan. They’re not too sweet, though you could easily add more sugar; and they’re slightly pretzelly because of some extra salt, but all in all the peanut butter/date combo could never be overdone in my opinion😍
