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.

We made ours with powder sugar. Toast the bread, then butter it, sprinkle powder sugar on the butter and press it in with the back of a spoon. Then sprinkle cinnamon over the powder sugar and press that in with the back of the spoon. Delicious!

This brings back lots of memories. Mom used to butter the bread, put on the cinnamon and sugar and then stick them under the broiler until toasted and cinnamon was bubbling. Best breakfast ever..

Before seeing this post, I revived this recipe from my childhood. Butter bread, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and this time I put the slice in my air fryer. The air fryer takes it to a whole other level of delishousness! You can play with the temp and time by checking on it to your desired toasted level. Yum!

It’s even better if you deep fry it in lard.

Born in 1938, this was dessert at the end of dinner when money was too short to provide a traditional dressert. I often make this for a mid-morning snack when I missed breakfast or am just lazy. It is always served with a glass of milk. . . . and I’m now 82 yrs. old!

It’s even better if you butter the bread and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on first. Then pop under the broiler to toast. The butter and sugar caramelize. It’s a crispy sweet delight!

That was our way of making it as well. Delicious!

I would never eat it that way. Cinnamon toast in our house is made with buttering slices of “untoasted” bread and then topping with sugar and cinnamon. Put it under the broiler on a baking sheet until to the desired brown you like. The sugar gets bubbly and cooked with the butter under the broiler and the cinnamon melts into it. Way, way better!

This is still one of my favorites… it’s a great late night snack, but my husband and I have an ongoing argument over which way to prepare it 🤣 he uses the toaster toasting both sides. While I add the butter cinnamon and sugar and broil on one side making a really crisp glazed toast with the soft underside LOL, it’s amazing 😋 and how my mom made it🥰!

Thank you for the memories! When I was a kid, my mom made us cinnamon and sugar toast – she would do it in the oven, and it would come out crunchy :-). Would you tell me where you got the white shaker shown in the first picture? If not known, do you know what its called? Thank you!

It is a powdered sugar shaker

After buttering the toast and sprinkling with sugar/cinnamon, stick it under the heated broiler in the oven for just a few seconds (maybe a minute) to caramelize the sugar and butter. It’s sooooo good!
Margie Chapple
My mom made cinnamon toast and then she would sprinkle some milk on top and put it under the broiler. Oh goodness it would crisp up the cinnamon to perfection…
Julie
I always put the butter on first, then the cinnamon sugar, then put it in a toaster over and melt. my favorite way.

Oh I grew up on cinnamon sugar toast as well as our Dad frying bread in the bacon fat left in the pan. Loved the bacon fat toast way back then and cinnamon toast but couldn’t eat it nowadays due to health issues.
Mom used to bring home small tubs of Maple butter every once in while as it was pretty hard to find at the time but boy o boy was that stuff ever good spread on hot toast!
I do find small jars of it on amazon Canada once in a while so will scoop one up in my order before its gone again. It tastes pretty darn good but not quite as tasty as the maple butter Mom used to bring home in the 50’s.
Thanks for the memories!
