Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup coconut oil (vegetable oil can be used as an alternative)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 16 oz twisted pretzels
Instructions
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture: Melt the coconut oil in a large mixing bowl. Once melted, stir in the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until the mixture is fully blended and smooth.
- Coat the pretzels: Add the twisted pretzels to the bowl with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Using a spatula or large spoon, gently toss the pretzels until each one is evenly coated with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the coated pretzels in a single layer on an 11×13 inch baking sheet to ensure even baking and toffee-like coating.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 3 to 5 minutes. Watch the pretzels closely and remove them from the oven as soon as the sugar darkens slightly to avoid burning.
- Cool and serve: Allow the pretzels to cool for 1 to 2 minutes on the baking sheet. This helps the coating to set and ensures a crunchy texture. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Vegetable oil can be used if you do not have coconut oil; it will still coat the pretzels well.
- Watch the pretzels carefully during baking as sugar can burn quickly.
- These pretzels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- For a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can increase the ground cinnamon to 4 tablespoons.
- This recipe is easy to double or halve depending on how many servings you want to prepare.
