Description

Oven-Baked Cinnamon Pretzels are a sweet and crunchy snack coated in a buttery cinnamon-sugar mixture. These homemade treats are easy to prepare with simple ingredients and are perfect for parties, movie nights, or a quick sweet bite.

Ingredients

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 the oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the pretzels evenly.
  2. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the pretzels from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
  3. Combine butter and vanilla: In a large bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter with the vanilla extract (if using) to create a flavorful coating base for the pretzels.
  4. Coat the pretzels: Add the mini pretzels to the butter mixture and toss thoroughly until each pretzel is evenly coated with the butter and vanilla.
  5. Mix cinnamon sugar: In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt to create the cinnamon sugar blend.
  6. Coat pretzels with cinnamon sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the butter-coated pretzels and toss well so that every pretzel is generously coated with the cinnamon sugar.
  7. Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the coated pretzels out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly distributed for uniform baking.
  8. Bake the pretzels: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through the baking time to ensure even coating and crispness.
  9. Cool before serving: Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing to allow them to crisp up perfectly.

Notes

  • Store the pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness and crispness.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
