Cinnamon & Sugar Soft Pretzel

Name: Cinnamon & Sugar Soft Pretzel
Yield: makes 1 serving
Ingredients: 1 (about 64 g) frozen soft pretzel (1 g of fat or less per pretzel; I used Super Pretzel); 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, or more to taste; 1/4 cup sugar*; 1 teaspoon light butter, melted (stick, not tub; I used Challenge Light)

If you’re tempted every time you walk by the pretzel stand at the mall, this recipe is for you. I used a pretty small amount of cinnamon in this recipe because I didn’t want it to overpower the flavor of the butter and the sugar. If you’re a big fan of cinnamon, feel free to use a little more. Since it’s virtually calorie-free, it’s consequence-free.

Cooks' Note

These numbers are based on average sugar consumption, not, a full 1/4 cup.
