Pro Tips Before You Start

Use softened butter – Makes spreading easier and more even

Want crunchier toast? Bake a bit longer before broiling

How to Make Homemade Cinnamon Toast

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Make Cinnamon Butter

Mix ¼ cup softened butter, ¼ cup sugar, 1½ tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

Step 3: Spread on Bread

Spread the cinnamon butter evenly on 4 slices of bread, all the way to the edges.

Step 4: Bake

Place the slices on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes until golden and warmed through.

Step 5: Broil to Finish

Switch the oven to broil and broil the toast for 1–2 minutes, just until bubbly and crisp.

Watch closely to avoid burning!

What to Serve with Cinnamon Toast

Fresh fruit – Berries or bananas pair beautifully

Hot chocolate or coffee – A cozy beverage match

Greek yogurt or cottage cheese – Adds protein to balance the sweetness

Scrambled eggs – For a sweet and savory breakfast plate

Maple sausage – A deliciously sweet-savory combo

Variations & Substitutions

Use brown sugar – For a deeper, molasses-like flavor

Add nutmeg – A pinch for extra warmth

Try different breads – Whole wheat, brioche, or sourdough

Make it dairy-free – Use plant-based butter

Add crunch – Sprinkle with chopped nuts before baking

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers – Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days

To reheat – Warm in a toaster oven or oven at 300°F until crisp

Do not microwave – It will make the toast soggy

Make ahead – Mix cinnamon butter and keep it refrigerated for up to a week

FAQs

Can I use pre-mixed cinnamon sugar?
Yes, but mixing your own with butter and vanilla creates a richer flavor.

What bread works best?
White bread, whole wheat, or Texas toast all work well—just avoid very thin slices.

Can I make a large batch?
Absolutely! Double or triple the recipe and bake on a full sheet pan.

Is this recipe freezer-friendly?
Not ideal—toast tends to get soggy when frozen and thawed.

Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, but it may alter the flavor and texture slightly.

What if I don’t have vanilla?
It’s optional—you’ll still get a great result without it.

How do I make it less sweet?
Reduce the sugar to 2–3 tablespoons, or use a sugar substitute.

Final Thoughts

This Homemade Cinnamon Toast is everything you want in a nostalgic snack or cozy breakfast.

It’s warm, crunchy, buttery, and just sweet enough—ready in minutes and perfect for the whole family.
