Description

Oven-Baked Cinnamon Pretzels are a sweet and crunchy snack perfectly coated in a buttery cinnamon-sugar mixture. This easy-to-make treat uses simple pantry ingredients and delivers a delightful combination of warm cinnamon and sweet sugar on crunchy mini pretzels. Ideal for parties, movie nights, or whenever you crave a homemade, flavorful snack.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups mini pretzels
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Set your oven to 300°F (150°C) to allow it to reach the perfect temperature for baking the pretzels.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet
    Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  3. Coat Pretzels with Butter
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and vanilla extract if using. Then add the mini pretzels and toss them thoroughly to ensure each pretzel is evenly coated with the buttery mixture.
  4. Mix Cinnamon Sugar
    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
  5. Coat Pretzels with Cinnamon Sugar
    Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter-coated pretzels and toss again until every pretzel is generously covered in the cinnamon-sugar blend.
  6. Arrange Pretzels on Baking Sheet
    Spread the coated pretzels in an even layer on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they are not overly crowded for even baking.
  7. Bake
    Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Stir the pretzels once halfway through baking to ensure that the coating remains evenly distributed and the pretzels become perfectly crunchy.
  8. Cool Pretzels
    Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pretzels cool completely on the sheet. Cooling allows the cinnamon sugar to set, resulting in a crisp finish.

Notes

  • Store the pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.
  • For an extra flavor dimension, add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mixture before coating the pretzels.
