The Ultimate Cinnamon Toast, the Pioneer Woman Way
I used to make buttered toast and sprinkle on cinnamon sugar. Who knew that making a butter compound with cinnamon, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg-- then broiling it until bubbly would make such a heavenly version of cinnamon toast?!

Ingredients
- 8 slices bread whole wheat is great!
- 1 stick salted butter softened
- 1/2 cup sugar (more to taste)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Smush softened butter with a fork. Dump in sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg, if using. Stir to completely combine.
- Spread on slices of bread, completely covering the surface all the way to the edges.
- Place toast on a cookie sheet. Place cookies sheet into the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until golden brown and bubbling. Watch so it won’t burn!
- Remove from oven and cut slices into halves diagonally.
Notes
UPDATE: I have found that using my toaster oven is a faster/easier way, when making this for two people. I toast the bread, until just before it's golden brown. I then slather on the cinnamon-butter and turn the toaster oven to "broil". Watch is, carefully, and remove just as the topping begins to bubble. This way, I don't have "soggy bread syndrome" on the bottom. Works great!
