Perfect for busy mornings or a cozy snack, it’s made from simple pantry staples and easily customizable to suit different tastes and dietary needs.

Ingredients

Basic Ingredients

  • Bread (white, whole wheat, sourdough) – 2 to 4 slices
  • Softened butter – 2 tablespoons
  • Granulated sugar – 1/4 cup
  • Ground cinnamon – 1 teaspoon
  • Optional: Pinch of nutmeg or a drop of vanilla extract

Optional Variations

  • Brown sugar (instead of granulated sugar) – 1/4 cup
  • Honey (replace butter or drizzle on top) – 1 to 2 tablespoons
  • Gluten-free bread – 2 to 4 slices
  • Almond or coconut butter (instead of regular butter) – 2 tablespoons
  • Fruit toppings (sliced apples, bananas, berries) – as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Adjust the ratio to taste if you prefer more sweetness or spice. Mix thoroughly so the cinnamon is evenly distributed throughout the sugar.
  2. Butter Your Bread Evenly: Spread softened butter generously and evenly over each slice of bread. This ensures the cinnamon sugar sticks properly and gives a rich, creamy flavor that complements the sweet topping.
  3. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered bread slices. Cover the surface thoroughly to guarantee that every bite has a balanced sweetness and spice.
  4. Toast to Perfection: Place the bread slices under a broiler or in a toaster oven. Toast for 2 to 4 minutes, watching carefully as the sugar caramelizes and the edges turn golden brown and crunchy. Avoid burning by toasting in short intervals and monitoring closely.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the Sweet & Crunchy Cinnamon Toast warm for the best texture and flavor experience. The toast should be crisp with a satisfyingly crunchy cinnamon-sugar crust.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale bread for better crispiness or fresh bread for a softer inside with a crunchy crust.
  • Always use room temperature softened butter for an even spread and better sugar adhesion.
  • Apply cinnamon sugar uniformly to prevent burnt spots and maximize the crunchy texture.
  • Toast in short bursts under the broiler and watch carefully to avoid burning the sugar.
  • Try using brioche or challah bread for a richer, softer twist on the recipe.
