Cinnamon Sugar Toast (Perfect Cinnamon and Sugar Mixture)

by Mary Neumann · 8 Comments · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

Today’s share is a fun nostalgic throwback and childhood favorite – Cinnamon Sugar Toast. Quick. Easy. Delicious. Who else grew up on this classic comfort food treat?!

Cinnamon Sugar Toast

Toasted sliced bread smothered in butter and sprinkled with a generous amount of cinnamon sugar (perfect cinnamon and sugar mixture). A quick and easy, budget friendly, go-to treat cherished for generations- often served with hot chocolate.

During these long weeks at home our family has been consuming a lot of Cinnamon Sugar Toast. Comfort food is good for the soul…not so great on the waistline.

What’s been your favorite go-to comfort food treat during your time at home?

I realize most people don’t need a recipe for Cinnamon Toast, but some may like to know the prefect amount of cinnamon and sugar to mix, which you will find below. On occasion I’ll purchase Penzeys mixture – so good.

More Delicious Toppings for toast, bagels, English Muffins and More!

Easy Bisquick Chocolate Chip Cookies

This awesome and simple Bisquick Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe calls for just 6 ingredients – Bisquick, butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla and chocolate chips, that’s it! These shortcut cookies are addictive, soft, chewy, and absolutely delicious! Simple never tasted so good.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE EASY BISQUICK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Bisquick, light brown sugar, butter, egg, vanilla and chocolate chips.

This is a fantastic chocolate chip cookies recipe to have on hand if you run out of flour and have Bisquick in the pantry. I have flour in the house but have been making these cookies because they are so darn good and such a cinch to make.

HOW TO MAKE EASY BISQUICK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Preheat oven to 375 degrees f. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until smooth, then add egg and vanilla, mix until well blended. Next add Bisquick, mix until well blended (do not over mix). Last add chocolate chips, mix until evenly blended (do not over mix). Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet(s). Bake on middle rack of oven for 8-10 minutes, until edges are golden brown. When ready, remove from oven, allow to cool a few minutes then transfer to cooling rack.

The BEST Vanilla Crazy Cake (No Eggs, Milk or Butter)

by Mary Neumann · 2 Comments · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

Today I am sharing another new crazy cake – Vanilla Crazy Cake…with rainbow sprinkles!!

Vanilla Crazy Cake (No Eggs, Milk or Butter)

This delicious vanilla crazy cake with rainbow sprinkles has no eggs, milk or butter, you don’t even need a bowl, mix everything right in the baking dish! This budget friendly from scratch pantry cake is a cinch to make, super moist and delicious! It’s also a fun activity to do with kids.

Read great reviews from people who tried this recipe on Pinterest (Photos)!

This funfetti-style cake, along with my other crazy cake flavors, come in handy during times with limited supplies of milk, eggs and butter. What’s so great about these cakes, they are great for egg and dairy allergies, call for pantry staples and are a cinch to make. The original Chocolate Crazy Cake dates back to the Great Depression (aka Wacky Cake, Depression Cake), a favorite for generations.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE VANILLA CRAZY CAKE WITH SPRINKLES

All-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar), vanilla extract, almond extract, vegetable oil (or canola oil), water. Use your favorite white/vanilla frosting and rainbow sprinkles. You can skip frosting if you like and dust the cake with powdered sugar.

**TIPS – If you are not a fan of sprinkles or don’t have them on hand, skip them for a delicious vanilla cake. If you do not have almond extract, no worries, just leave it out.**

HOW TO MAKE VANILLA CRAZY CAKE WITH SPRINKLES

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8″x 8″ baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Mix dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda and salt) in prepared baking dish until well blended. Next, make 3 depressions in dry ingredients (see photos) – two small, one larger. Add the vinegar in one depression, vanilla and almond extract in the other and vegetable oil in the third larger depression. Pour water over all. Mix well until smooth. Last, add 2 tablespoons of rainbow sprinkles to the batter (optional), mix well. *I use a fork to mix. Bake on middle rack of oven for approximately 35 minutes.

Check center of cake with toothpick to make sure it comes out clean. Allow to completely cool then top with your favorite white or vanilla frosting (or dust with powdered sugar) decorate with rainbow sprinkles.

I use Betty Crocker’s Rainbow Sprinkles.

1/2 teaspoon almond extract
5 Tablespoons vegetable oil (or canola oil)

Extra sprinkles on top (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8″x 8″ baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Mix dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda and salt) in prepared baking dish until well blended. Next, make 3 depressions in dry ingredients (see photos) – two small, one larger. Add the vinegar in one depression, vanilla and almond extract in the other and vegetable oil in the third larger depression. Pour water over all. Mix well until smooth. Last. add 2 tablespoons of rainbow sprinkles to the batter (optional), mix well. *I use a fork to mix.

Bake on middle rack of oven for approximately 35 minutes.

Tips

If you are not a fan of sprinkles or don’t have them on hand, skip them for a delicious vanilla cake.

If you do not have almond extract it’s okay to leave it out.

Make sure your baking soda is fresh, your vinegar too – they are what make the cake rise.
