How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Crackers

If you’re looking for a super inexpensive and delicious snack, you need to make some cinnamon sugar crackers you can’t say no to.

Cinnamon Sugar

My mom used to make us cinnamon sugar toast, and it was a delicious dessert. We could hardly wait to take it out of the oven.

She’d spread the butter on the bread, mix some cinnamon and sugar in a bowl, and sprinkle it on the toast. Oh, man, it was delicious. 

To make an entire sheet of cinnamon sugar crackers costs less than a dollar. And, the kids will love helping you make these!

But, you can’t take the toast to work or school for a snack. So, what’s a girl to do?

• Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the crackers.
• Broil for a few minutes and allow the crackers to cool.

How To Make Cinnamon Sugar Crackers

First, start by adding sugar to a small bowl.

Second, add the cinnamon to the bowl.

Third, mix the cinnamon and sugar together. 

Fourth, lay the saltine crackers out on a greased cookie sheet. 

You can use any type of crackers that you like for this recipe, but saltines seem to work best.

TIP: Be sure to grease the cookie sheet before adding the crackers, because the sugar can melt and become brittle on the pan and it’s not fun having to use extra elbow grease to clean up.

Fifth, melt the butter and pour it over the crackers. 

And sixth, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the crackers with a spoon. Don’t be shy with the mixture. You can put a lot on the crackers.

It’s not always easy, but try not to get the mixture on the baking sheet itself, as the sugar will burn a little while cooking.

Finally, broil the cinnamon sugar saltine crackers for just a few minutes.

TIP: They cook fast so be sure to keep an eye on them in the oven. Don’t start doing dishes or folding laundry (like I try to do sometimes) because things tend to burn fast on the broil setting.

Look at the deliciousness! Yum, yum, yum!! Cinnamon sugar crackers are such a super cheap and delicious treat.

You can take them to work with you or send them to school with the kids. They will love you for it, and all of their friends will be begging for some, too.

Cinnamon Sugar Ratio

You always want to have a larger ration of sugar to cinnamon, or you’ll overpower the sweet taste with the seasoning.

I use 1/3 cup of sugar to 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and that seems to be a great ratio. You can always use more of each to suit your taste.

This ratio is also perfect for using on toast, with butter, as well.

Does Cinnamon Have Sugar?

No, cinnamon does not have sugar. You have to add the spice to the sugar in order to make the cinnamon sugar recipe.
