Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup ground cinnamon Ceylon cinnamon
  • 1½ cup white sugar or brown for a moister blend
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Measure the cinnamon and sugar into a bowl. If making a large batch, consider wearing a face mask, as the fine ground cinnamon can get you sneezing.
    PRO TIP: You can also use brown sugar for a moister, softer mixture. Be sure to store it in a jar that keeps it sealed, so it stays crumbly textured. Brown sugar and cinnamon is amazing in oatmeal!

  • Both cinnamon and sugar can develop tiny lumps. Run the ingredients through fine sieve to get any lumps out.
  • Taste test your cinnamon sugar mix. If you think you'd prefer to adjust the cinnamon to sugar ratio, now it the time to do so.
  • Transfer to a spice jar, mason jar, or a rubber sealed bail jar. Keep in a cool, dry pantry storage location. This cinnamon sugar will keep up to 18 months.

Notes

  • Use a fine grain of sugar for the best texture - granulated or superfine is perfect. Confectioners is too fine, it will clump.
  • You can substitute brown sugar for granulated sugar for a richer flavor.
  • You can add other spices to the cinnamon sugar recipe, such as nutmeg, cloves, or cardamom.
