I have a friend who is also allergic to cinnamon. The easiest thing you can do is just not use the cinnamon. Usually there isn't enough of it in something for you to detect that it is missing, but enough to cause your friend a problem.

If you are making something like a cinnamon streusel cake, then make the cake without cinnamon, and don't make it streusel ... works with my friend. Hope it will with yours.

I find nutmeg to be the closest substitute for cinnamon.
