Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Ritz Bits crackers (any variety)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Stir in the vanilla extract (if using).
- Place the Ritz Bits crackers in a large bowl. Pour the melted butter over the crackers and toss gently to coat them evenly.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered Ritz Bits and toss again to coat them thoroughly.
- Spread the coated Ritz Bits evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the Ritz Bits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your deliciously crunchy Ritz Bits churros!
Notes
- For a more intense cinnamon flavor, feel free to add a bit more cinnamon to the sugar mixture.
- If you prefer a sweeter treat, drizzle a little bit of chocolate or caramel sauce over the baked Ritz Bits.
- These churros are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- You can also experiment with other flavorings, such as nutmeg or cocoa powder, in place of the cinnamon.
