Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. This will be your cinnamon sugar mixture.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl or a small saucepan over low heat.
Once melted, add the vanilla extract to the butter and mix well.
Place the slices of whole grain bread on a baking sheet.
Brush each slice of bread with the vanilla-infused melted butter using a pastry brush, ensuring an even coating.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the buttered bread slices, making sure to cover them entirely with the sweet spice.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden brown and the cinnamon sugar has caramelized.
Remove from the oven and allow the cinnamon toast to cool slightly before serving.
Cut each slice diagonally if desired, and enjoy your low sodium cinnamon toast warm.
