Best Cinnamon Sugar Recipe

There are no wrong ways to incorporate cinnamon sugar into your dishes because it makes everything taste better! I could probably come up with a list of 100 different ways to use it in my favorite recipes.

Of course, mixing two ingredients together is as easy as it gets. In fact, you won’t need to get the store-brand version anymore, because this homemade mix is better quality too!

🥘 Cinnamon Sugar Ingredients

This mix only uses 2 ingredients that most people already have! Store your cinnamon sugar in an airtight container so you won’t have to make it every time you need it.

Image showing the simple 2 ingredients for cinnamon sugar.
  • Sugar – ½ cup of granulated sugar (*see note).
  • Cinnamon – 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon.

*Be sure to see the recipe card below for ingredients, amounts, & instructions!*

🔪 How To Make Cinnamon Sugar

There is nothing easier than simply stirring two ingredients together! The only things you’ll need are a bowl, spoon, and an airtight container to store it in!

This recipe will give you 8 servings, but it varies depending on how much you add to everything!

Process image 1 showing mixed ingredients in a small bowl.
  1. Add. In a small mixing bowl, add ½ cup of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon.
  2. Stir. Next, stir until well combined.
  3. Store. Finally, store your cinnamon sugar in your pantry in an airtight container until ready to use.

You can use this cinnamon sugar to make some perfect snickerdoodle cookies, cinnamon rolls, or baked cinnamon apples! I also love to sprinkle it on my pancakes!

💭 Angela's Pro Tips & Recipe Notes

  • You can substitute the granulated sugar for any other sweetener you may prefer!
  • To take this sweet mixture to the next level, you can add in a dash of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice!
  • Put this blend into a spice shaker for convenience, because you will want to put it on everything!
  • Feel free to adjust the cinnamon to sugar ratio to fit your preferences, you may like more cinnamon or more sugar!
  • Store your spice mix in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

❓ What Is Cinnamon Sugar Used For?

Cinnamon sugar is a spice mix that has limitless potential! It can be used as an ingredient in cookies, cinnamon rolls, and pancakes. Or, you could use it to top your whipped cream or coat your pretzels. Add it to your coffee for a tasty new flavor, mix it with butter, or sprinkle it on a pie!   

❓ What Is The Proper Ratio For Cinnamon Sugar?

Typically the ratio of cinnamon to sugar is 1:4. This is what most recipes use, but you can always tweak and adjust it to the way that you like it the best!

❓ What Are The Benefits Of Cinnamon?

Cinnamon contains an essential oil called cinnamaldehyde which is known for having anti-bacterial properties! It also contains prebiotic properties that can help support digestive health as well as lower blood pressure! Additionally, it is recommended for helping to manage blood sugar.
