    Mom's Caramelized Cinnamon Sugar Toast is a simple childhood favorite treat we would enjoy for an easy breakfast recipe on busy mornings. A sturdy piece of bread is buttered and topped a combination of cinnamon and sugar, then broiled to a golden brown perfection!

    ❤️ Why you'll love it

    • The crunchy, buttery cinnamon sugar mixture broiled on top makes a crisp toast that pairs perfectly with a nice hot latte!
    • Broiling the cinnamon sugar toast is the best way to make this childhood treat and brings the best flavor and texture.
    • This cinnamon toast recipe is a great way to make special food memories for your the kids!

    🥘 Ingredients

    Bread slices: choose a sturdy loaf of bread. I used a cinnamon raisin bread pictured in the photos or this homemade soft white bread recipe.

    Butter: I use salted butter. If you use unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the cinnamon sugar mixture.

    Granulated sugar

    Ground cinnamon

    Butter on a plate with a knife and cut slice.
    Be sure to use softened butter when spreading over the bread.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Preheat broiler on low setting.
    2. Butter each of the bread slices with 1 teaspoon butter, spreading all the way to the edges of the bread. Depending on the size of your bread, you may need to use more butter.
    3. Combine sugar and ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt
    4. Sprinkle over buttered bread. Gently tap bread slice all around to spread sugar mixture over top, coating the butter completely.
    5. Place under broiler and broil 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully as toast can burn easily.

    🥄 Equipment

    Baking sheet

    Small bowl

    Butter knife

    Cinnamon sugar and butter mixture.
    The perfect combination of cinnamon and sugar gives great flavor to this toast!
    Sprinkling sugar mixture over top of buttered raisin bread.
    Butter bread thinly with softened butter. This will help the cinnamon sugar mixture to adhere to the bread.

    Tap the bread to spread the sugar mixture over top and tap any excess back into the bowl.

    Place bread slices on a baking sheet to place under the broiler.

    🥫Storage

    Store any leftover cinnamon sugar in an airtight container in the pantry.

    📖 Variations

    • Substitute brown sugar for granulated sugar.
    • Use pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice in place of the cinnamon.
    • Cinnamon sugar butter spread can be used in place of the butter.
    • Use cinnamon bread (with or without raisins).

    💭 Tips

    • Use softened butter to make spreading over the bread easy.

    🏫 The last word

    This is one of two ways to make cinnamon sugar toast. This is the longer way, where you have a crunchy sugar coating on top of the bread. The other way people make cinnamon sugar toast is to toast the bread, butter it, and then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top of the buttered bread. Both ways are delicious but I love the candy like topping by caramelizing the sugar!
