Brisket Dry Rub

This brisket rub is the perfect combination of sweet and smoky. It adds enormous flavor to smoked brisket or oven brisket, making it (in my opinion) the best brisket rub.

This brisket rub is the best combination of sweet and spicy, with paprika, garlic and maple sugar. I've tried many brisket rub recipes and this is definitely my favorite.

Notes

This recipe makes approximately 1/2 cup of brisket rub.
I'm obsessed with using spices (both fresh and dry) in my healthy recipes. For a peek inside my spice drawer, make sure to watch my Spice Drawer Organization and Tips video.
If your local market doesn't have granulated maple sugar, this is the brand I buy from Amazon.
