Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Bites

Ingredients

• 170 g nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 120 g all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp baking soda (for the boiling water)
• Cinnamon (to taste)
• Stevia sweetener (to taste)
• Zero-calorie spray (for coating)
• Salt (mentioned in transcript for dough)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the nonfat plain Greek yogurt, all-purpose flour, and baking powder (and a pinch of salt if desired) until a dough forms.

3. 3

   Knead the dough briefly on a lightly floured surface, then roll it out into long ropes.

4. 4

   Cut the ropes into bite-sized pretzel pieces.

5. 5

   Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons of baking soda.

6. 6

   Drop the pretzel bites into the boiling water for exactly 15 seconds, then remove them with a slotted spoon.

7. 7

   Place the bites on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

8. 8

   While the bites are still warm, spray them lightly with zero-calorie spray.

9. 9

   Toss the sprayed bites in a mixture of cinnamon and stevia until evenly coated.

Notes

The transcript mentions baking at 425°F, but the written description specifies 375°F for 15 minutes; the written instructions are generally more reliable for consistent results. Ensure the water is at a rolling boil before adding baking soda to ensure the classic pretzel crust forms.
