So I made this and it wasn’t as good as expected. Looking over the list of ingredients again, I don’t see any salt listed. Also, the cinnamon flavor wasn’t as pronounced as I’d like so anyone who is making this. I suggest adding half a teaspoon or so of salt plus extra cinnamon if you’re like me and want a nice, rich cinnamon flavor.
