🥣 How To Make The Cinnamon Spice Glaze

This is the full recipe to make your very own Cinnamon Spice glaze. 

1. Sift the powdered sugar into a medium bowl or a large bowl if you are doubling up the quantity.
2. Add the cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and nutmeg, then whisk those dry ingredients together. You could use an electric mixer for this if desired.
3. Add the dairy free milk and whisk until smooth.

Recipe Variations

Want to try different milk? If you want to try some different flavors then there are some great dairy-free options out there. Any plant based milk, Coconut milk, and almond milk would work well.

Make cinnamon sugar instead. If you want dry sugar then you can omit the milk and use granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar to make tasty cinnamon sugar.

What other flavors will work? Why not add a bit of real maple syrup to your glaze? It will turn it into an incredible maple cinnamon glaze.

You could also add pure vanilla extract to give it a sweeter taste. A teaspoon of vanilla could make all the difference.

Tips & Tricks

• Make sure you whisk all of the ingredients together to ensure they are combined.
• Double up the quantities to make a bigger batch.
• A stand mixer or electric whisk will make light work of the whisking to make this sugar icing.
• Always check your spices and other ingredients to ensure that they're gluten and dairy free as some spice manufacturers have been adding gluten or dairy to their spices.
• Feel free to omit the pumpkin spice and use something else in its place if desired, or just omit it entirely so you can use this glaze all year round.

Storage

To store the glaze you can do so in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

Before you use the cinnamon glaze make sure you give it a good whisk to combine all of the ingredients together.

You can try to freeze this glaze. It may separate when thawed, so be sure to stir it up before using it again. We prefer to just make a fresh batch instead of freezing it.
