I made the recipe exactly as written and didn't like the cinnamon flavor mixed with the chocolate, it overwhelmed it.... as-is , this recipe is a three star for me. However, I made it a second time without cinnamon and I would rate it a 5 stars!!! This is a keeper but modified without cinnamon :)

This was fabulous! Really easy, but when it was done it was so pretty I would take it anywhere! I will admit though, I thought just the plain chocolate chips sounded a little boring for breakfast, so I did white chocolate chips, added crasins and a few pecans on the top, excellent!
