Reach for Ceylon cinnamon sugar when you want cinnamon toast that turns into something better than you remember: butter the bread, dust it on, and a minute under the broiler melts it into a bubbling, caramelized, almost creme-brulee crust. It is pure cane sugar blended with true Ceylon cinnamon, the delicate, sweet, citrus-floral kind, so it finishes warm and fragrant instead of harsh and candy-hot. Dust it over oatmeal and yogurt, roll snickerdoodle dough in it, rim a cocktail glass, or stir it into coffee and lattes.
The cinnamon here is canela, true Ceylon, not the aggressive cassia behind most supermarket cinnamon sugar. That is what keeps it mellow enough to taste the butter and the sugar underneath rather than a single hot note. Because Ceylon's delicate aroma fades fast once ground and exposed, we blend and pack it fresh and keep it in glass rather than plastic so the floral notes survive to your kitchen.
A blend of cane sugar and ground Ceylon cinnamon. No fillers.
Common Questions
What makes this different from regular cinnamon sugar?
What makes this different from regular cinnamon sugar?
The cinnamon. Most cinnamon sugar uses cassia, which is bold and hot. This uses true Ceylon (canela), which is softer, sweeter, and citrus-floral, so the blend tastes warm and rounded rather than sharp. You taste the butter and sugar alongside the spice, not just heat.
What is the best way to make cinnamon toast with it?
What is the best way to make cinnamon toast with it?
Two camps, both good. Toaster-first: toast the bread, butter it generously so the butter acts as a sponge, then dust heavily. Broiler-first (the cult favorite): butter raw bread, coat it with the sugar, and run it under a broiler or toaster oven for a minute or two until the top bubbles and caramelizes into a crisp shell. Thick brioche, challah, or sourdough hold the melted topping best.
Can I bake with it, like in cinnamon rolls?

It is best as a finishing sugar rather than a one-for-one swap into cassia-heavy recipes. Ceylon is milder, so in something built around bold cinnamon punch it can read subtle. It is perfect for rolling snickerdoodles, dusting pastries, topping oatmeal, and finishing baked goods, where its delicate aroma is the point.
What ratio of cinnamon to sugar is this?
What ratio of cinnamon to sugar is this?
It is balanced for everyday use, leaning toward the sugar so it pours and dusts evenly without clumping, with enough Ceylon to come through warm and fragrant. Great on toast, oatmeal, yogurt, and coffee straight from the jar; for an intense, spice-forward hit on snickerdoodles you can always add a pinch more cinnamon.
How should I store it?
How should I store it?
Keep it sealed in a cool, dark spot away from the stove's heat and steam. Ground Ceylon loses its delicate citrus-floral aroma faster than hard cassia, so an airtight jar protects what makes it special. Dip with a dry spoon to keep moisture out and prevent clumping.
