Ingredients And Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Bites. Scroll down to the recipe card for a full list of ingredients and instructions.

Use plain greek yogurt for best results. I personally love using the one from Greek God’s, but any greek yogurt will suffice. If you want to make these vegan, opt for a plant-based yogurt instead.

All purpose flour works best for this recipe, I have not tested it with any other flours such as a gluten-free flour blend, or oat flour.

Baking powder helps the dough rise and have a fluffy texture without using yeast. It’s also used in the boiling water to help add to the texture of the dough, making it more chewy like an actual pretzel.

A touch of salt helps to balance out all the flavors and adds to the texture of the dough.

The coating is made with ground cinnamon and cane sugar, feel free to use coconut sugar if you’d like!

Serve these pretzel bites with a greek yogurt dip for a healthier alternative, simply combine greek yogurt and maple syrup. Can also use honey, agave or date syrup.

How To Make

ONE: Start by making the dough by combining the greek yogurt, flour, baking powder and salt together. Mix with a spatula and then flour a clean working surface and knead the dough until it’s no longer sticky.

TWO: Roll the dough into a large ball and then cut into four equal parts. Then, roll each section into a log and cut into bite sized pieces.

THREE: Boil water on the stove top and add in the baking powder, stir until there aren’t anymore bubbles. Then, working quickly, drop in each pretzel bite one by one and let it sit in the water for only about 1-2 second before removing and placing on the air fryer rack or baking sheet, depending on cooking method.

FOUR: Air fry at 350F for 8-10 minutes. In the meantime, make the cinnamon and sugar mixture and then once the pretzel bites are done remove and toss in the cinnamon and sugar. If your coating doesn’t stick, lightly coat each bite with your favorite oil spray, I used ghee.

FIVE: Then, make the “cream cheese” dip by combining the greek yogurt and maple syrup together. Dip and serve warm!

Tips And Tricks

Don’t be afraid to flour your hands or add a touch more of flour to your dough if it’s too sticky. Add more as needed.

Only dip the dough bites in the baking soda water for a few seconds, try not to let it soak any longer than that. Working one by one is the best method for this.

If working in larger batches, use a spider strainer to remove the bites efficiently.

After the pretzel bites are done baking, quickly dip them in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. If the mixture does not stick, lightly coat the bites with your favorite oil spray, I used ghee.

How To Serve And Store

Serve these Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Bites warm and with the greek yogurt dip. These will also taste amazing with a cream cheese dip or frosting that you can find in this pumpkin roll recipe.

Cinnamon and Sugar Pretzel Bites are best enjoyed fresh, however they can also be stored in an air tight container in the fridge and enjoyed within 2-3 days for best results. To reheat, add them to the microwave or place them back in the air fryer for a few minutes.

Taste And Texture

These pretzel bites taste just like the ones you would get at the mall but much better, and much healthier!

The texture is crispy and buttery on the edges, but soft, fluffy and chewy in the center.
