Save and share!

This cinnamon roll spice mix is a flavorful and special addition to any recipe that calls for cinnamon. Use it instead of just plain cinnamon in any cinnamon roll recipe, muffin, scone, cookie or more for an extra flavorful spice! Also known as British Mixed Spice.

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!
