cinnamon sugar recipes

Spice up your day with these sweet, simple cinnamon treats, from churros to homemade cinnamon toast crunch.

I love a good cinnamon sugar combo. Cinnamon toast, cinnamon toast crunch, churros, the works. But the sweet, spice-y pair undoubtedly makes me dream of summer months filled with crunchy, warm churros on the boardwalk. Whenever I have a freshly fried churro, I immediately dunk it in warm chocolate or Nutella for the ultimate treat. These cravings inspired our mini of the month for May—and all of the recipes below!  

Here are a few of my favorite cinnamon sugar sweets to make whenever the craving hits. Tempted? Our churro mini of the month launches this week and is the perfect intro to the summer months. 

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Treats

These easy, no-bake treats are the perfect summer snack and have a super satisfying, melty marshmallow pull.

Icebox Cake with Snickerdoodles

Icebox cakes are the only cakes I make in the summer. (Just kidding, but they are the perfect excuse for never turning on your oven again.) Follow my recipe here for a fluffy whipped filling and swap out the chocolate chip cookies for cinnamon sugar graham crackers or your favorite store-bought snickerdoodles. To die for. 

Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles

Though pumpkin spice might make the rounds as leaves turn orange, the warmth from allspice, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger create the ultimate snickerdoodle, not a pumpkin in sight.

Homemade Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Unbelievably good. This recipe helps you create your favorite childhood cereal at home with ingredients you already have, in just a few minutes. The perfect midnight snack!

Easy Churro Chips 

Hear me out—this is the fastest, crunchiest, cinnamon sugar treat in only five steps and six pantry ingredients. 

  1. Cook up and drain your favorite noodles. 
  2. Lay them on a piece of parchment paper and give them a spray of oil (I use avocado).
  3. Pop them in the air fryer at 350 until golden brown, then flip and cook a little bit longer.
  4. Toss them in cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Dip in melted chocolate and enjoy the sweet, sweet crunch.
