Quick and easy Baked Cinnamon Chips are made by brushing flour tortillas with melted butter, sprinkling with cinnamon-sugar, and baking until light and crisp. They make a delicious snack on their own, or try topping them with some vanilla ice cream and buttermilk caramel sauce or hot fudge. They are also delicious dipped in fruit dip or straight into whipped cream. Two of our favorite uses are to build a plate of decadent Strawberry-Chocolate Nachos or dip in Fruit Salsa!

How to Make Baked Cinnamon Chips:
Simply lay out your tortillas and brush each one with melted butter and sprinkle with a little cinnamon-sugar and then cut into wedges. I’ve provided measurements and quantities in the recipe, but you can absolutely eyeball literally everything here. I never measure anything when I make these. Simply brush and sprinkle!
Lay them on a baking sheet (I line mine with parchment or foil for easy clean up) and then bake them in the oven. Different brands and sizes of tortillas might take varying amounts of time but it’s usually about 10 minutes or so. Just keep an eye on them and take them out when they turn golden on the edges.
When they’re done and cooled completely they’ll be light and crisp and oh so delicious. These are yummy, addicting little things. You can use them for all kinds of things- try making nachos by topping them with some vanilla ice cream and buttermilk caramel sauce or hot fudge. Or dip them in fruit dip or straight into whipped cream. Or just snack on them plain- they make a great after school snack. My toddler loves making these with me!
Try them with our Sweet Fruit Salsa, or in Strawberry Chocolate Nachos!
Questions & Reviews
I keep reading all of your yummy fall recipes and I’m so disappointed that fall has not hit Vegas yet… then I came across this recipe. Now I’m thankful it’s still summer 🙂
I am actually one that sees a recipe with more than 5 ingredients and think, ‘Do I really need to make this or is there a simpler version?’ I have 5 kids and a really picky husband. The less ingredients the better chance for them to like it. Your brother is so wrong!! I love 3 ingredient recipes.
These are deliciously addicting! I live in an apartment with three military men and it’s hard to find a snack they all agree on. This was quick, easy and I can put them in a ziplock bag and let them feast on the go!
these look great!
Long live three ingredient recipes!! Eager to try this one:)
Would these be good if they are made ahead? How long do you think they would keep and stay fresh?
Just wanted to say that your brother is wrong. Wrongitty wrong. Wrong a long a ding dong. Three ingredient (or less) recipes save the day OFTEN around here!
You know, we used to do something similar with pita chips, and they were awesome but a bit of a pain. First you have to split the two layers in half without them tearing apart, and then they soak up the butter, making it hard to spread on. This sounds like a much better idea! (and lower calorie, bread wise)
Just tried these using corn tortillas and they were a pretty chewy….any suggestions? Maybe they only really work with flour?
Yes, it really works better with flour! Corn is always a bit chewy.
Try omitting the butter and cook a little longer, I love 3 ingredient recipes BTW
I know this is couple years late but i used rice torillas as gluten free and they were soooo good!
I just started following your blog a few weeks ago and I love it! I just made the cinnamon chips and can’t believe how good they are! I actually put butter and cinnamon sugar on both sides, because let’s face it you can never go wrong with more! 🙂
