Can I use cinnamon instead of cinnamon powder?

Yes, you can use cinnamon sticks instead of cinnamon powder in many recipes. Simply grate or grind the cinnamon sticks to produce cinnamon powder. However, keep in mind that cinnamon sticks may impart a slightly different flavor and texture compared to pre-ground cinnamon powder. Adjust the amount of cinnamon sticks used based on your taste preferences.
