Oats Free Chili Powder Blend
Making your own spice blend from scratch is one of those small kitchen moves that pays off every single time you reach for it. This blend layers ancho chile powder with ground cumin, two kinds of paprika, garlic powder, and a handful of other pantry staples for a deeply smoky, complex heat that store-bought versions rarely match. The smoked paprika adds a subtle char-like depth, while the cayenne and coriander keep things interesting without overwhelming the dish. It comes together in minutes — just whisk everything in a bowl and transfer it to a jar. Store-bought chili powders can be surprisingly tricky to vet for hidden fillers or anti-caking agents, so mixing your own gives you full control over exactly what goes in. Sealed up and kept somewhere cool and dark, this blend stays fresh for up to six months, ready to season everything from weeknight chili to roasted vegetables.
