Grandma's Cinnamon Sugar Toast

Grandma's Cinnamon Sugar Toast is one of my most memorable foods as a small child growing up and I still make this as an adult with comforting memories.

This will be the fastest easiest cinnamon toast ever, no baking you just need a toaster and a butter spreader knife.

Cinnamon and sugar mixture can even be store-bought or homemade so it's a home run breakfast, snack, lunch, or just because you need something quick and easy to eat.

Grandma not only made us homemade cinnamon sugar for topping our bread but the butter was all homemade also, we include that recipe on how to make homemade butter also below in the recipe card.

The breads you can use are up to your own preference, Grandma used an Italian bread to toast however, bagels, English muffins, and whatever your taste buds prefer can be substituted for toasting.

Using all simple pantry ingredients for instance butter, cinnamon, and sugar with bread is all that's needed to get your day started in as little as 10 minutes tops!

Don't forget to check out on "How to Make Homemade Butter" below at least try it once!

Cinnamon Toast is a Terrific Snack

You can add any dried fruits nuts or even chocolate chips on top of the toast.

One combination we loved was the chocolate chips and cinnamon combination.

This toast can be made ahead of time and eaten cold.

Great any time of the day with any beverage but of course terrific to start off the day with that cup of Joe!
