Coconut Free Chili Powder Blend
Spice blends from the store can be sneaky — fillers, anti-caking agents, and unexpected additives sometimes make their way into the mix, which is frustrating when you're trying to keep things clean and simple. Making your own from scratch puts you completely in control of every single ingredient. This blend layers ancho chile powder with ground cumin, two kinds of paprika, and a warm supporting cast of garlic, onion, oregano, coriander, and a touch of cayenne for just the right amount of heat. The result is deeply smoky, a little earthy, and genuinely more complex than anything sitting on a grocery store shelf. It comes together in minutes with a quick whisk, and once it's sealed in a jar it stays fresh for up to six months — meaning you can batch it ahead and reach for it all season long. Use it in chili, rubs, marinades, or anywhere you want bold, well-rounded flavor without any guesswork about what's actually inside.
