Recipe

Prep Time: 3 mins       Yield: ½ cup

Ingredients:

  •  ½ cup granulated sugar
  •  ½ - 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.**

** I use 1 Tbsp. You can use more or less. I think a good range would be  ½ - 1½ Tbsp. For me, the  maximum quantity for Cinnamon in this recipe should be 1½ tablespoon otherwise the Cinnamon flavor will be overpowering. But it really depends on your taste. Feel free to experiment.

Directions:

  • Measure out the ingredients into a clean bowl
  • Mix thoroughly until evenly blended.
  • Use the desired immediately and store the ret in an airtight container. I stored mine in an old cinnamon spice container.

See? Easy Peasy. So the next time a recipe calls for cinnamon sugar go with confidence. ?

Note: If you are on a sugar free diet. Substitute the sugar with Erythritol ?
