Description
Cinnamon toast is a nostalgic comfort food made with buttery toasted bread topped with a sweet cinnamon-sugar mixture. It’s quick to prepare, perfectly crisp, and irresistibly delicious—ideal for breakfast, snacks, or a cozy treat.
Ingredients
4 slices of bread (white or brioche preferred)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon until combined.
- Spread softened butter evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the buttered side, pressing lightly so it sticks.
- Place the slices on a baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until edges are golden and sugar has melted into a shiny topping.
- Optional: Broil for an additional 30 seconds for extra crispiness—watch closely to prevent burning.
- Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm.
Notes
Use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a richer, molasses-like flavor.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for extra warmth and spice.
Mix the butter, cinnamon, and sugar together into a paste for a faster prep.
Toast bread first if you prefer a quick toaster version—add butter and sugar mix afterward.
Store leftover slices in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
