Steps
Cinnamon Sugar
Measure out sugar and cinnamon in a 4:1 ratio. Measure 1 cup (196 g) of granulated white sugar and 1/4 cup (36 g) of ground cinnamon. For a smaller amount of cinnamon sugar, simply reduce the amounts but keep the same ratio.[1]- Some cinnamon is stronger than others, so you can add or subtract cinnamon to taste if you need to.
- Mix the cinnamon and sugar together thoroughly in a small bowl. Use a fork to stir the cinnamon and sugar together. Stir until the mix has a uniform color and consistency.[2]
- Taste the blend to see if you need to adjust the amount of cinnamon.
Advertisement - Add the cinnamon sugar mixture to a variety of desserts and meals. Use it to make sweet breakfast foods like cinnamon sugar toast or cinnamon rolls. Sprinkle it on top of belgian waffles.[3]
- You can also use the blend as a sweetener for tea or coffee.
- Store any leftover mixture in an airtight container at room temperature. Put the cinnamon sugar in a clean jar or container with a lid. Make sure that no moisture or air will get in and the mixture will last forever.[4]
- Mason jars are great for storing spices!

Cinnamon Sugar Butter
- Combine sugar, cinnamon, and butter in a small bowl. Measure out 1 tbsp (14 g) of unsalted butter, 1 tbsp (12.5 g) of granulated white sugar, and 1 tsp (2 g) of ground cinnamon into a bowl. Use unsalted butter.[5]
- You can make the cinnamon sugar ahead of time to add to butter whenever you want.
- Cream the mixture together with a spoon or spatula. Mash and stir the sugar and cinnamon into the butter until it is evenly distributed. Stop mixing when the butter is an even color and consistency.[6]
- If the butter is too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a bit until it softens up.
- Use the butter right away or store it in the fridge to use later. Put the butter on toast, pancakes, waffles, or any other food of your choosing. Make a large batch and store it in a container in the refrigerator.[7]
- You can use a butter substitute if you are vegan or don't eat dairy.
- Refer to the expiration date of the butter you used to get an idea of how long the cinnamon sugar butter will last. In general, butter will last for about 6-9 months in the fridge.
