Healthy Cinnamon Baking Chips

June 20, 2013

Healthy homemade cinnamon baking chips!

Healthy Cinnamon Baking Chips

Whenever I am making bread, cookies or brownies, I always have the urge to mix in some sort of sweet thing into the batter. If I’m making chocolate chip cookies, I might add in white chocolate chips. If I’m making banana bread, I want to sprinkle in raisins and walnuts. If I’m making brownies, I can’t resist throwing in dark chocolate chips and maybe even a swirl of peanut butter for good measure.

We’ve got endless reasons to use chocolate chips in baking but when it comes to cinnamon flavored mix-ins, we need to step it up! These cinnamon chips are so easy to whip up but are so much healthier than anything you’ll find from Hershey’s. They are also the most scrumptious, chewy and sweet substitute for chocolate chips. These little bites have a full robust cinnamon flavor that will add incredible spice to all your favorite recipes.

Healthy Cinnamon Baking Chips

Forget about chocolate (for awhile)…. Cinnamon chips will have you making a long list of batters to throw these cinnamon bites into.  Store them in the fridge to use anytime an urge strikes! We’ll share the perfect bread to start with next week! See you soon!

 

Healthy Cinnamon Baking Chips (gluten-free and vegan option)
Print Recipe

1/4 cup Coconut Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
2 Tablespoons Agave or Honey

Pre-heat the oven to 300 degrees. Line an 8 by 8 dish with parchment paper.
Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl until everything comes together into a soft paste. Spread the mixture out in the baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 17-18 minutes. The mixture will become a little bubbly.

Place the dish in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to cool.  Cut into small squares and add to all of your favorite recipes! If not using right away, store in the refrigerator. The chips will soften and fuse slightly together if stored in a warm place.

    What is the shelf life of these chips? I don’t eat a lot of sweets…

      Hi Maddy, We usually store these chips in the fridge and use them up within one or two days in baked recipes. They will last about 5 days.

          We have not tried freezing these but keeping them in the fridge seems to work great.

    Hi. I just found you site. I am delighted. I can’t wait to try these. Have you ever substituted cocoa for cinnamon to make chocolate chips?

      Welcome! We have not made chocolate chips with this recipe. But we’ve been thinking of adding those to our bake list. :) Glad you found us!

    Oh my goodness what a great idea!!! I love cinnamon and this sounds… pretty freaking delicious. I feel like every time I bake with cinnamon there is never enough cinnamon flavor, it just bakes out. I just made a banana cake today with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and I could barely taste it at all, ugh. This probably would have fixed it!! Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to make the cake again and use some cinnamon chips :)

    Wow, those look amazing. I love using cinnamon chips in baking! Are these melty like the hershey’s ones (kind of similar to an extra soft chocolate chip) or are they chewy/crunchy?

      These are chewy! When they are baked, they get super soft and chewy which is great for soft treats. :)
