Bored of eating regular bread, butter and jam for breakfast? Why not try an easy comforting breakfast with bread. Easy to prepare and it takes the same amount of time as smearing butter on your toast. Fragrant cinnamon with butter on bread toasted till golden, that has to be a super combination. I used to make only chocolate toast in the same way and I also started making this with cinnamon after I saw the recipe on ‘thepioneerwoman’. This toast is very delicious, warm and you can make it in a jiffy. Keep the butter-cinnamon mix ready at night for an easy breakfast in the morning. I have used homemade whole wheat bread here but store bought bread can be the way to go if you are in a hurry. Serve with some slices of bananas, any fruits of your choice and a swirl of honey or golden syrup.
- 2 Tbsp softened butter or butter at room temperature
- 1½ Tsp cinnamon powder
- 2 Tsp vanilla extract (not essence)
- 2 Tsp brown sugar
- 8 slices of brown bread
- Golden syrup to serve
- Banana
- Strawberries
- or any fruit of your choice
- In a mixing bowl, add softened butter
- To this add, cinnamon powder
- Add brown sugar
- Add good vanilla extract
- Mix all together till well blended with 2 spoons to scrape or use a small spatula
- Spread the bread slices on a working surface. Add a small dollop (a heaped Tsp or so!) of cinnamon butter mixture on each bread slice
- Spread evenly like smearing butter on toast
- On a heated skillet/tawa, toast till golden
- Serve warm with a drizzle of golden syrup or honey on top with some fruits of your choice. I have also tried this with some vanilla ice cream for a quick dessert (that cannot be bad at all!)
Smear on both sides if you want and toast
Make sure butter is soft before spreading or mixing, it makes a difference
Increase number of toasts by just doubling the quantities of ingredients
Brown sugar gives a nice caramel flavour to the toasts, use regular if you want
Use any kind of soft bread you want
