It happened as a happy accident. I was making homemade cinnamon rolls, and I ran out of cinnamon. I rapidly just threw random spices into the mix and went with it. And I discovered that I loved it.

Over time I have refined this cinnamon roll seasoning to be a perfect blend of spices that is perfect for all your baking needs.

I call this is a cinnamon roll seasoning mix, but it’s essentially a British mixed spice recipe. Mixed spice is a blend of spices used in baked goods like hot cross buns, pudding, and cakes. It is similar to a pumpkin pie spice (affiliate link) blend, although the ratios and spices is different.

What you need to make this recipe:

• Cinnamon – Use a good quality cinnamon. I prefer using a Saigon variety as it has a really rich flavor.
• Nutmeg – For best flavor, I suggest grating your own nutmeg fresh!
• Allspice – a very aromatic baking spice
• Cloves – Adds a rich depth of flavor and balances the sweetness.
• Mace – a milder nutmeg flavor with a hint of citrus and peppery flavor
• Ginger – adds a little bite
• Coriander – you just need a hint to add some nuttiness

How to make this mixed spice recipe

1. Assemble the best, freshest spices you can get.
2. In a small bowl, combine the spices together until well blended.
3. Transfer to a lidded glass jar and label!
