If you're craving a quick and comforting breakfast treat, this cinnamon sugar toast is just what you need. Made with sourdough bread, a generous butter mixture, and a sprinkle of the perfect cinnamon sugar mixture, this recipe transforms a simple slice of bread into the best cinnamon toast you'll ever try. The result is warm toast with caramelised edges and a drizzle of maple syrup that makes every bite irresistible.

Ingredients

The beauty of this cinnamon toast recipe is that it uses pantry staples you probably already have. All you need is sourdough bread slices, a stick of butter (or just a couple of tablespoons of unsalted butter), granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Maple syrup adds that finishing touch of buttery goodness. If you prefer, you can swap granulated sugar for brown sugar to give it a deeper, caramel-like flavour.

Sourdough bread is a fantastic choice here - its tangy flavour balances the sweetness of the cinnamon sugar mixture perfectly. Plus, it toasts beautifully, giving you golden edges of the bread and a chewy centre.

You will need...

For exact quantities see the recipe card below.

Instructions

A white bowl filled with sugar and a metal measuring spoon holding ground cinnamon on a white marble surface.

Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.

Spread Butter: Take the butter and spread a generous layer on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

Two slices of bread on a wooden board are spread with butter using a knife; bowls of butter and cinnamon sugar are beside the board.

Two slices of bread with butter and cinnamon sugar on a wooden cutting board, with some cinnamon sugar scattered around.

Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered side of each slice, pressing down slightly to help it stick.

Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Cook the Toast: Place the buttered and sugared side of the bread down in the hot pan. Cook for about 2-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the sugar begins to caramelize.

Two slices of bread coated with cinnamon sugar are placed side by side in a black cast iron skillet on a light-colored surface.

Flip and Cook: Carefully flip the slices over to cook the other side. If desired, add a little more butter to the pan. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the second side is golden.

Add Syrup: Once both sides are toasted, remove the bread from the pan and drizzle with maple syrup (or your favorite syrup) while it's still warm.

Serve: Let it cool slightly, then slice if desired, and serve with additional syrup on the side. Enjoy your delicious cinnamon sugar toast topped with syrup!

Substitutions and Variations

Bread options: Not a fan of sourdough? Try this with any hearty bread slice like a vegan brioche or wholemeal.

Sweeteners: Use coconut sugar or brown sugar instead of granulated for a richer flavour.

Butter alternatives: A vegan butter spread or coconut oil can be swapped in for unsalted vegan butter.

Cooking methods: Instead of a frying pan, you can bake the toast on a cookie sheet in a toaster oven for 8-10 minutes.
