Gram'S Cinnamon Toast
Gram's Cinnamon Toast offers a delightful combination of sweet cinnamon and sugar spread on buttery toast, perfect for a quick breakfast or comforting snack with a warm, bubbly finish.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix cinnamon and powdered sugar and cream in butter or margarine.
- Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture on toast.
- For a special treat, slide under the broiler until bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter rather than margarine. If you want to reduce sweetness, adjust the powdered sugar to your taste. Ground nutmeg or vanilla extract can also be added for extra depth. If you have it, using cinnamon sugar from a store can save time, but homemade is often fresher. You can also try spreading this mixture on bagels or English muffins for a twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Gram's Cinnamon Toast as a delightful breakfast or snack. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit like sliced bananas or berries and a hot cup of coffee or tea. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside scrambled eggs or bacon. You can also serve it as a dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, making it a cozy treat.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftover cinnamon toast, wrap it in aluminum foil or place it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to enjoy it warm later, reheat in a toaster oven or under the broiler for a few seconds until bubbly, but watch it closely to avoid burning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sugar?
Yes, you can substitute brown sugar for a deeper flavor. Just keep in mind that it may alter the texture slightly, making it more caramelized when broiled. If you're looking for a healthier option, coconut sugar can also work, but it may change the sweetness level.
What type of bread works best for the toast?
Thick slices of bread such as brioche, sourdough, or Texas toast hold up well to the cinnamon sugar mixture and broiling. They absorb the flavor without becoming too soggy. However, standard white or whole wheat bread is also fine if that's what you have on hand.
Can I make the cinnamon sugar mixture in advance?
Absolutely! You can mix the cinnamon and powdered sugar ahead of time and store it in an airtight container. Just be sure to use it within a couple of weeks for the best flavor. This makes preparation quick and easy when you’re ready to make your toast!
