How to make easy Cinnamon Sugar that is great for baked treats, toast, or anything you want a sweet topping for.
Cinnamon Sugar
I love to add Cinnamon Sugar to my toast, pancakes, french toast, and really anything.
One thing I have found is you have to get a great balance between the cinnamon and sugar. The cinnamon can overpower the mix if you add in too much. The perfect ratio of cinnamon to sugar is really up to you.
We love using this on cinnamon toast, buttered toast, crescent rolls, or really any warm baked good that needs just a little bit more flavor.
I know I am going to get emails and social media messages that this is just cinnamon and sugar combined in a bowl and why is it a recipe post. The one thing I have found in writing recipes for over 12 years is sometimes the easiest ingredients are the ones that need the most care and balance.
I have also learned that seeing a recipe written out carries a bit of reassurance that you are doing the right thing in your kitchen. There is comfort in knowing someone else makes their cinnamon sugar recipe just like you do.
We all need different things when it comes to recipes, ideas, and motivation to spend time in the kitchen. If this recipe makes you roll your eyes and shake your head I hope you take time to check out other recipes and see what they offer.
If this recipe gives you the inspiration to try something new or change your homemade cinnamon sugar ratios I am super happy you took time to read it.

Ingredients
- Ground Cinnamon
- Granulated Sugar
We use white sugar but you can easily make this with brown sugar also.
Equipment needed
Small whisk - I love these mini whisks for combining spices and seasoning. You can also use a fork if you don't have a mini whisk.
Small lidded jar - I use a small mason jar to store my cinnamon sugar mix.
I am going to be honest and say that this mix is always close in the kitchen. It is just so perfect on so many things.
Storage - You can store this in a spice jar so you have it ready whenever you need it.
Recipe Tips
You can lower the amount of cinnamon if you want to change up the flavor.
