How to Make Kanelbullar (Swedish Cinnamon Buns)

Today we have a Swedish Cinnamon Buns Recipe (Kanelbullar recept)! These were one of my favorite snacks to have with coffee for a fika. Fika is a coffee or tea break and usually pair with a sweet treat. It's super cinnamony and not too sweet which is perfect for me and it balances really nicely with a cup of coffee or tea.

Here's my kladdkaka recipe which is also great to have for fika!
