Cinnamon Toast
4 ingredients and 4 minutes are all you need for the perfect afternoon snack or breakfast treat! This cinnamon toast recipe is a faster method that still delivers a crunchy, caramelized cinnamon sugar crust on slightly soft toast!
Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla powder
- ¼ cup butter
- 8 slices cinnamon swirl bread or any bread you choose!
Instructions
- Place the desired number of slices of bread on a baking sheet, and adjust the top rack to the highest setting.
- In a small bowl or spice jar, combine sugar, cinnamon and vanilla powder (if using). Whisk together or stir well with a fork.
- Slice butter as thinly as possible. This ensures a quick melting and even coating. If you have softened butter, bravo! Spread on a nice layer all the way to the edges.
- Sprinkle about 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon sugar over each piece of toast. It is worth having a tiny bit of patience at this moment, so every inch of toast will get a nice caramelized sugar topping.
- Place the baking sheet on the uppermost rack under the broiler and broil 2-3 minutes, or until the sugar is bubbling and golden brown. It will burn quickly, so it is best to set a time and watch it.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, allow toast to cool slightly, then serve!
Notes
Yield – 8 pieces of cinnamon toast
Variations – For crunchier toast, I do recommend either pre-toasting the bread or baking the assembled toasts in the oven preheated to 350°F for 5-8 minutes, then broiling 1-2 minutes.
Storage – I don’t recommend making this toast in advance. It is best eaten warm, straight from the oven!
