Sweet Cinnamon Sugar Blend
What it is

The fine texture of both components ensures they distribute evenly in batters, doughs, and on surfaces. It is ready to use straight from the container, saving you the step of measuring and combining individual ingredients.

You can use this cinnamon sugar blend in many ways. For baked goods like cookies, cakes, and muffins, it can be incorporated directly into the batter or dough. It is also excellent as a topping.

For a simple dessert, dust it over yogurt or ice cream.
