When I was a kid I would eat handfuls of Red Hots until my mouth was on fire. Spicy cinnamon has been a favorite flavor ever since. When I found cinnamon oil I knew I had to use it in a batch of Red Hot Cinnamon Gummies.

Red Hot Cinnamon Gummies – Keto, Low Carb, Sugar-Free, THM FP

At first, I used a tiny dropper but then I got impatient and tried to pour a few drops faster. Woah. My mouth was burning. But it was a good burn. These are really good. If you like spicy cinnamon just keep adding drops until your mouth is happy.

I use LorAnn Cinnamon Oil in these. You can either buy tiny bottles, small bottles, or an assortment of flavors. If you really like cinnamon the small bottles are the most economical. Remember that you only need a few drops for a recipe. The tiny dram bottles still have enough for 4 or 5 batches of gummies.

These are low carb, gluten free, grain free, sugar free, and a THM FP. This recipe makes about 2 dozen gummies. You can double it to make more.

Ingredients:  

1 cups water

2 tbsp THM gentle sweet (or my blend of erythritol, stevia, and xylitol)

5-10 or more drops of cinnamon oil (to taste)

1-2 scoops of Better Stevia (or your favorite stevia), optional

3 tbsp gelatin (4 packets)

Food coloring (optional, I used a few drops of red)

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a small pot and heat over low to medium heat until very warm. TASTE IT. You can add more cinnamon oil or more sweetener (add stevia if you'd like). Tailor it to your taste buds.
  2. Slowly whisk in the gelatin until dissolved. At this point I pour it through a mesh sieve to strain out any pieces of gelatin that didn't dissolve. Pour into silicone molds and refrigerate until firm.

  2. Just made these. They came out great, I just need to use more cinnamon next time. I used the THM Gelatin and added 3.75 of a Tablespoon and they were the perfect gummy bear consistency. Thanks for the recipe.

    • The color of mine came from the couple drops of red food coloring I added. Which brand of gelatin did you use?

  6. So I followed the recipe above - I don't get these nice shiny deep red gummies - no big thing...I really don't want to put much more red coloring in them..... my problem is with the consistency - like jello - is that right? I really don't know what I expected, with nothing to make them gummy :) They did come out right I guess - just like strong cinnamon jello bears :) I like the strength of the cinnamon....a nice bite.Am I doing something wrong? Should I add anything else to make them more chewy like regular gummies?

    • Are you using the lorann cinnamon oil or a different brand? And knox gelatin? You can always add more gelatin to make them chewier but at some point you start to taste the gelatin.

      • Taryn,I looked at the Lorann cinnamon oils on Amazon and there seem to be different types. Should I be using the "hard candy flavoring oil" type? Your recipe sounds delicious!Thanks, Valerie

        • Sorry for the delayed response. This got buried in my messages. Any of them that say "3x to 4x stronger than typical alcohol-based extracts" are fine.

    • Any silicone mold works. I can't find the heart shaped mold I used on Amazon. I suppose they are no longer selling it. But here is an alternative: http://amzn.to/2kQ9QpM

  9. Taryn, I don't have cinnamon oil on hand, but have cinnamon extract. I know it's not the same thing, but wonder if it would still work so I can try these.

  10. I don't have better stevia, I have plain stevia, is that the same thing? How much is a scoop? I'm used to a dooink not a scoop. Why do you need 2 sweeteners? I'm really excited to try this I love cinnamon gummies!
    Reply

      • It is a pure stevia. I turned the container around and noticed the serving size was one scoop. Maybe there's a scoop in there and I just haven't come across it yet?! LOL. Looks like I'm going to do some digging around. :-)
        Reply

        • I spun my container all around and never found a scoop, so I just used a dooink. They are chilling in my fridge now and I can't wait to try them! How did you get your gelatin to dissolve? The first pack did with out a problem, after that it was all gloppy. I stirred forever trying to get it to dissolve before I gave up and strained it.

  11. I just made these and I am so happy with how they turned out!! Thank you...I am wondering if you have tried other flavors?
    Reply

    • I've tried a few other flavors with the flavoring oils. Some were better than others. The cinnamon oil is the strongest. For some of the others I needed a lot more of the flavoring. My kids ate them all though :)
      Reply

  12. Is 'Better Stevia' pure stevia or is it a mixed blend of something. I can't find it in our stores around here. Could I use the THM Pure Stevia instead? If so, how much would I use?
    Reply

  13. How much of the THM gelatin is equivalent? Do you know? And I have cinnamon oil that I use for glass candy at Christmas thst you buy at the pharmacy counter. That would work?
    Reply

    • The cinnamon oil should be fine if it's normally used for candy making. Briana Thomas has a great comparison of gelatin brands on her site. You need a little more if you use the THM gelatin. http://www.briana-thomas.com/the-great-gelatin-comparison/

  14. So after these have set do they need to stay refrigerated? Thinking about a car trip... What do you think ladies?
    Reply

    • I have no problem with pork. I actually don't eat beef (I'm a recovering vegetarian) so I prefer pork ;)

  17. I made these yesterday and they are more like jello jigglers than gummies. I was hoping for a chewier texture. Could I melt them down and add more Great Lakes gelatin and let them set again? Thanks
    Reply

    • Hi Cheryl,To be honest I have no idea. Sorry. I use the Knox gelatin and they were much chewier than jello. Maybe it's stronger than the Great Lakes variety. You could try heating just a few of them and adding a tiny bit more gelatin to see what happens.
