Easy Cinnamon Sugar Toast 

by

Ingredients

Basic Ingredients

  • 6–8 slices of white bread (or brioche for richer taste)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1–2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Powdered sugar (for topping)
  • Honey or maple syrup (for serving)

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F)
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper

This ensures even baking and prevents sticking.

Step 2: Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mix

In a small bowl:

  1. Add sugar
  2. Add cinnamon
  3. Mix well until evenly combined

Optional: add a pinch of salt to enhance flavor.

Step 3: Butter the Bread

  1. Take each slice of bread
  2. Spread softened butter evenly across the surface

Tip: Make sure the butter reaches the edges—this helps create a crispy golden crust.

Step 4: Add Cinnamon Sugar

  1. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over each slice
  2. Press lightly so it sticks to the butter

Don’t be shy—the more topping, the better the flavor and crunch.

Step 5: Bake

  1. Place slices on the baking tray
  2. Bake for 10–12 minutes

For extra crisp:

  • Turn on broil (top heat) for 1–2 minutes at the end

Watch carefully so it doesn’t burn!

Step 6: Serve

Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Serve warm with:

  • Coffee ☕
  • Tea 🍵
  • Milk 🥛

Optional toppings:

  • Powdered sugar
  • Honey drizzle
  • Fresh fruits

Texture & Taste

This toast is:

  • Crispy on the outside
  • Soft inside
  • Sweet and slightly spiced
  • Buttery and rich

It’s simple but very addictive 😄

Pro Tips for Perfect Results

1. Use Good Bread

  • White bread → classic soft texture
  • Brioche → richer and buttery
  • Thick slices → better structure

2. Don’t Skip Butter

Butter helps caramelize the sugar and gives that golden finish.

3. Control Cinnamon

Too much cinnamon can taste bitter—balance is key.

4. Use Oven Instead of Pan

Oven gives:

  • Even crispiness
  • Better caramelization
  • Less burning

Variations

1. French Toast Style

Dip bread in:

  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Vanilla

Then cook and add cinnamon sugar.

2. Crispy Toast Bites

  • Cut bread into cubes
  • Bake → perfect snack

3. Stuffed Version

Add inside:

  • Nutella
  • Cream cheese
  • Peanut butter

Then bake.

4. Healthy Version

  • Use whole wheat bread
  • Reduce sugar
  • Add honey instead

Storage

Room Temperature

  • Eat fresh (best taste)

Refrigerator

  • Store up to 2 days
  • Reheat in oven for crispiness

Common Mistakes

❌ Not enough butter → dry toast

❌ Too much sugar → burns quickly

❌ Baking too long → hard texture

❌ Not watching broil → burns fast

Why This Recipe Works
