How to measure cinnamon sugar
The chart entry is “Cinnamon-Sugar, 1/4 cup = 1 3/4 oz = 50 g”, multiplied by four here for a full cup. The ground cinnamon barely changes the weight: granulated sugar alone is 198 grams per cup on the same chart. The chart does not give the ratio of cinnamon to sugar in its mix, so the figure is for a ready-made blend. By the spoon: a tablespoon is 12.5 grams and a teaspoon about 4.2 grams. A quarter cup is 50 grams and half a cup 100 grams, which makes it one of the easiest sugars here to convert.
Sources: 200 grams per US cup is the weight per cup in King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart (open the chart), entry “Cinnamon-Sugar, 1/4 cup = 1 3/4 oz = 50 g”, multiplied by 4 for one cup. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
