Homemade cinnamon stix, anyone?
Crunch, munch, crunch. Crunch, MUNCH.
This was my first time making cinnamon stix and was it ever EASY!
Pumpkin Spice Stix
Adapted from Dreena Burton’s ED&BV
Ingredients:
- 4 high protein pitas
- 9 T Organic cane sugar (or more)
- 1 T Pumpkin pie spice (or more)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Fine grain sea salt (tiny pinch)
Directions: Slice pitas to form strips. Spread on EVOO onto both sides of strips and then dip the strips into the sugar mixture on both sides. Place each strip onto a baking sheet lined with parchment (easy clean up!). Cook for 4 mins, on each side at 375 F. Do not overcook. Mine were perfect after 4 minutes on each side. 4 1/2 mins would have probably burned them! Keep a close eye on it. Remember they will still cook after removing from the oven too. Let cool completely before storing. They crisp up real nicely.
Strips become Stix. Ohhhhhhh yea.
But of course, what are stix without a little dip?
Sweet & Creamy Peanut Butter ‘Yogurt’ dip
This recipe was adapted from Dreena Burton’s Creamy Cashew Dip from ED&BV.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1 cup vanilla soy yogurt (if you want it vegan)
- 6 T unsweetened applesauce
- 4 t agave nectar
- pinch sea salt
- 1/4 t cinnamon
Directions: Combine all ingredients in a bowl or food processor and blend until smooth. It doesn’t get much easier than that!!!
This dip is WONDERFUL! Creamy, slightly sweet, and thick. I’m glad I doubled the batch because I think this will be perfect at the party paired with the stix. Mmmmmmmmm…I can’t wait! :D :D :D It is also the first time I have made a sweet dip before and I really love it. This would also be great with fruit!

Happy Ugly Xmas Sweater Party EVE!
Those stix look yummy. I’m wishing I was there to try it paired with the dip!
The stix look so good!!!!
These look so yummy! I bet they’d be great dipped in fruit salsa! If you can find some good fruit, you should make fruit salsa for the party, too!!
hmmm those look like BeaverTails kinda… I must make them! :)
The cinnastix look great, but that dip sounds even better!
Whoa, those sticks look DELICIOUS!
I love that you love the dollar store. My husband ALWAYS makes fun of me for LOVING the dollar store. He says i’m the only one in the world. I seriously beg to differ. I freaking love that place all year round. I knew I liked you for a reason!! :)
oh and how could i forget the sticks and dip. i am going to try it for sure! Sounds like something my hubby would love!

Yum, I want to attend holiday parties are your house!
Ditto! Everything you make looks sooooo good!
Can I just say how lucky your party guests are? Or how amazingly full they will be when they leave? Your food looks AMAZING and is definitely making me want to throw a party of my own just so I don’t eat all of these appetizers all by myself!
I’m really looking forward to pictures of the event, especially now that we’ve had that great little teaser of how unbelievable tacky you guys are going to be!
Those snacks?? YES, PLEASE!!

Well it’s so good to know someone out there is dedicated to making these sorts of wonderful vegan snacks! Whenever I have a partay I’m totally going to look up what to make here.
Those pita stix look amazing!! I love making my own savory pita chips, but this is a great take on a sweet version.
