Cinnamon chips make everything a cut above. Nothing will improve your baking quite like cinnamon chips. It's like magic.
Read the reviews. Add cinnamon chips to your cookies, pancakes, and desserts, and listen for the applause. Your baking becomes better, often much better.
How do they work?
What makes them magic? Why are cinnamon chips better than ground cinnamon?
They work differently. They're fat-based, like chocolate chips. Like chocolate chips, they melt in baking. Instead of pockets of melted chocolate, you have pockets of melted cinnamon.
Cinnamon chips are much more complex than ground cinnamon. It has a combination of cinnamon, not just one. That includes Saigon, or Vietnamese cinnamon, which is unique and stronger. That's the cinnamon that jumps out. The cinnamon sensation is brighter, more powerful, and longer-lasting.
Cinnamon Chip Zucchini Bread Recipe
This recipe is famous in our valley. I go to the grocery store, and someone asks about it. The girls at the clinic are much more interested in zucchini bread than my blood pressure.
I try to explain that I didn’t develop this recipe; one of our customers did. But she did a good job, and she was kind enough to let us publish it.
It’s the cinnamon chips. It’s a burst of cinnamon in every bite. It’s a difference maker. That’s not all. I think the sour cream makes it smoother, moister, and gives it more contrast with the cinnamon chips. In any case, it’s very good.
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups grated zucchini squash
1 1/2 cups cinnamon chips
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Stir the flour to break up the packed bits, making it light and fluffy. Spoon the lightened flour into a measuring cup to get 3 cups.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together. Set aside.
In a smaller bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla together. Fold in the sour cream, oil, and zucchini.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the cinnamon chips. Do not continue stirring..
Pour the batter into two well-greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pans. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until done with a toothpick or skewer inserted into the middle. Cool for ten minutes on a rack before removing the loaves from the pan.
Zucchini Bread Sandwiches
I only have experience with zucchini bread sandwiches two ways: PB&Js and those made with a cream cheese spread, jam whipped into cream cheese. Both are very good.
We make French toast with banana bread, so I’m sure you could do so with zucchini bread. When soaked with egg wash, the bread is pretty fragile. Turn it with a spatula; don’t try to flip it with a fork.
Questions about cinnamon chips and their use:
Cinnamon chips are the magic! They make baking better. If it calls for cinnamon, add cinnamon chips.
What do cinnamon chips taste like? It's "a burst of cinnamon in every bite." The chips melt during baking, leaving sweet pockets of cinnamon. It's more intense than ground cinnamon.
Is it regular cinnamon? No, it's sweetened chips, like chocolate chips. Your regular cinnamon is probably Korintje cassia. I can taste some Saigon cinnamon in these. That's a brighter, fuller flavor.
What recipes do I use? Anything that does or could use ground cinnamon--pancakes, cakes, cookies, . . . .
When should I add them? Right at the end of the mixing. Don't let the mixer beat up your chips.
What about bread? Fold them into your bread right after kneading.
Cinnamon chips will make your baking better! Guaranteed. Money back.
