Ingredients
For these Honey Cinnamon Roll-Ups, you only need a few pantry staples. Let’s break it down:
Flour Tortillas
The base of these roll-ups is a soft, pliable tortilla. You can use regular flour tortillas or try whole wheat for a slightly healthier option. Tortillas are the perfect vehicle for all that honey and cinnamon goodness.
Honey
Honey gives these roll-ups a natural sweetness and a lovely sticky texture. It’s the perfect counterpart to the cinnamon sugar, making each bite wonderfully sweet and comforting.
Cinnamon Sugar
A classic combination of cinnamon and sugar—this is the magic dust that turns simple tortillas into something irresistible. You’ll want to make sure each roll-up gets a generous sprinkle of cinnamon sugar to achieve that classic flavor.
Butter
Butter helps the cinnamon and honey stick to the tortillas, giving the roll-ups a rich, melt-in-your-mouth finish. It’s what makes these treats so indulgent!

Instructions
Making these Honey Cinnamon Roll-Ups is a breeze. Let’s get rolling (pun intended!):
Step 1: Prep the Tortillas
Start by laying out your flour tortillas on a flat surface. If they’re a little stiff, warm them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds so they’re soft and easier to roll.
Step 2: Spread the Butter and Honey
Brush a light layer of melted butter over each tortilla. Once that’s done, drizzle a small amount of honey on top of the butter and spread it evenly across the surface with the back of a spoon. This is what will help the cinnamon sugar stick and give the roll-ups their sweet, sticky texture.
Step 3: Add the Cinnamon Sugar
In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the honey-coated tortillas. Make sure to cover the entire surface—this is where the flavor magic happens!
Step 4: Roll Them Up
Carefully roll each tortilla up, starting from one edge and rolling it tightly toward the other. You should end up with a neat, honey-filled cylinder that’s ready to be sliced into bite-sized pieces.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
Slice each rolled-up tortilla into 1-inch pieces and arrange them on a plate. If you like, you can drizzle a little more honey over the top for extra sweetness. Serve immediately while warm, or let them cool for a few minutes—either way, they’re delicious!

Keep Them Warm
If you’re making a big batch for a group, keep them warm in the oven (set to 200°F) or in a covered dish until ready to serve. They’ll stay soft and delicious!
Make Them Ahead
You can prepare the roll-ups ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. Simply reheat them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving.
Add Some Nuts
If you love a little crunch, sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans onto the cinnamon-sugar mix before rolling them up. It adds a great texture and flavor!
Make a Larger Batch
This recipe is super easy to scale up, so if you’re serving a crowd, just increase the number of tortillas and ingredients accordingly.
