Have you ever made cinnamon toast before? If you haven’t, read this post and you’ll be sure to know. This recipe came from RecipeBoy Brooks’ grandma who took care of him often when he was little. She taught him how to make the best cinnamon toast ever. I used to eat the same cinnamon toast when I was a kid!
You only need 4 ingredients to make the best cinnamon toast. Brooks recommends using King’s Sweet Hawaiian Bread. But you can certainly use any kind of bread for making cinnamon toast.
This recipe was originally posted by RecipeBoy Brooks in 2011. I’m updating the post today with new photographs.
Ingredients needed:
- bread

That is exactly how my grandmother made it for me. Toasted on both sides, buttery and sooo yummy. She made cheese toast almost the same way...just replace the cinnamon with a slice of cheddar cheese and sprinkle sugar on it. Sounds weird I know but it really is good. My mom and I make both for my girls. I love traditional foods. :)

We would visit my Aunt Weezie on weekends an hour away would make the best cinnamon toast. I have tried it for years never the same . I am def going to try this morning. It was just one of those things that always tasted better as a child growing up. She would also make the best tuna fish sandwich. And among the best fudge. Great memories ! Thanks
