How to make cinnamon sugar using the perfect cinnamon sugar ratio. Great for making cinnamon sugar toast and dusting over drinks and all your baked goods. It's sweet, flavorful, and ready in seconds!
All you need to do to prepare this cinnamon sugar recipe is combine the two ingredients in a bowl or jar and mix/whisk them well.My perfect ratio is 1:4 but start with 1:8 if you want a milk cinnamon flavor or for a strong flavor, use a 1:3 ratio.
Transfer it to an airtight glass jar (a funnel will help), label it with the date, and store it in a cool, dark location (like your pantry) for up to 6 months. It will technically last longer than that (2 years +), but the spice will lose flavor after 6 months, so for the best flavor, consume it within that time. Give the jar a good shake each time you use it in case the cinnamon has started settling at the bottom of the jar.
Notes
If you want to tweak the flavor, you could add a small pinch of nutmeg too. During fall, I love to swap out the cinnamon and use pumpkin spiceinstead to top all my fall bakes. I also occasionally mix in some vanilla seeds for extra flavor.Check the blog post for more ingredients notes, uses and serving recommendations, and answers to top FAQs!
