From Refinery29, the cinnamon roll PB & J combines everyone's favorite sandwich with a beloved, seasonally appropriate dessert. To recreate this treat at home, you will need an existing cinnamon roll that has been cut in half horizontally. Then you just add your favorite [peanut butter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-pbj-filled-pretzels) (crunchy will work especially nicely here) and your preference of jelly flavor. This one contains [grape jelly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pbj-pop-grape-and-strawberry), but you could easily go with jam or a different fruit. For bonus points, you can make your pastry from scratch using your own cinnamon roll recipe. However, simply using a store bought version is the quickest way to upgrade the sandwich. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gourmet Fusion Recipes:** Creating delicious and unique food combinations by fusing two or more classic recipes together. - **Creative Comfort Foods:** Putting a creative twist on classic comfort foods to add excitement and novelty to traditional dishes. - **Upscaled Convenience Foods:** Elevating simple and convenient foods by adding high-quality ingredients or gourmet techniques for a more sophisticated taste. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** This trend presents opportunities for food and beverage companies to create innovative products that combine flavors from different cuisines. - **Bakery:** Bakeries can take advantage of this trend by offering unique and indulgent pastries that cater to customers' desire for novelty and comfort. - **Restaurant:** Restaurants can introduce cinnamon bun sandwiches to their menu as a creative and mouthwatering option that appeals to both adults and children. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinnamon Roll-Inspired Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-roll-cookie.md) - [Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-roll-cupcakes.md) - [Sandwich-Inspired Peanut Butter Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-pbj-big-cups.md) - [Banana-Topped Cinnamon Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monkey-business-roll.md) - [Creamy Cereal-Flavored Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-toast-crunch-creamy-cinnamon-spread.md) - [Sweet Sandwich Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-pbj-sandwich-kit.md) - [Chocolate-Topped Cinnamon Buns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnabon-5.md) - [Indulgent Cinnamon Roll Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-roll-pizookie.md) - [Crustless Berry Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-and-raspberry-spread.md)
