Sometimes the best recipes are the ones that are so simple you wonder why you did not think of them yourself.

Keto Cinnamon Crunch

This keto cinnamon crunch is exactly that kind of recipe. It takes regular pork rinds and turns them into something that tastes like a sweet cinnamon snack, and it only takes a few minutes to make from start to finish.

I have been making this for a while now and it never gets old because it hits that spot when you want something sweet but do not want to eat actual sugar.

What makes this recipe great for anyone on a keto diet is that it has basically zero carbs. Pork rinds are naturally carb free, and cinnamon has almost no carbs either.

The best part about making this at home is that you can adjust it to your own taste. If you like more cinnamon you can add extra. If you want it a bit richer you can use more butter. Let’s get started!

But this cinnamon crunch costs almost nothing to make. Pork rinds are one of the cheapest snacks you can buy, butter is affordable, and cinnamon is something you buy once and use for months.

💡Tips

1. Use Plain Pork Rinds, Not Flavored Ones

When you go to buy pork rinds for this recipe, make sure you get the plain ones and not the flavored varieties like barbecue, salt and vinegar, or spicy.

The flavored pork rinds already have seasonings on them that will clash with the cinnamon taste you are trying to create.

If you use barbecue pork rinds with cinnamon, for example, you will end up with a weird mix of savory and sweet that does not taste good at all.

2. Let the Butter Cool Slightly Before Adding Pork Rinds

After you melt the butter and mix in the cinnamon, wait about one minute before you add the pork rinds to the bag.

If the butter is too hot when it touches the pork rinds, it can make them a little bit soft and take away some of their crunch. Pork rinds are at their best when they are crispy, and very hot butter can mess with that texture.

You do not need to wait until the butter is cold or anything like that, just let it sit for a minute so it goes from super hot to warm.

3. Serve Right Away for Best Crunch

This cinnamon crunch tastes best when you eat it soon after making it. The pork rinds are at their crispiest right after you coat them, and that is when you get the best crunch in every bite.

If you let them sit for too long, especially in a humid environment, they can start to lose some of that crispness and become a little bit chewy.

This does not mean you cannot store them for later, but if you are making this for a snack right now, eat it right now.

FAQ

Can I use coconut oil instead of butter?

Yes, you can use coconut oil instead of butter if you prefer or if you cannot eat dairy. Coconut oil will give the cinnamon crunch a slightly different flavor because it has a mild coconut taste, but many people actually like this combination with cinnamon.
