Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices gluten-free bread sturdy slices, avoid soft or crumbly varieties
  • 2 tsp cinnamon freshly ground for best aroma
  • 2 tbsp fine sugar for even caramelization
  • 2 tbsp butter melted, or coconut oil for vegan option

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Shallow dish
  • Spatula
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your skillet over medium-low heat until it feels warm to the touch, about 150°C (300°F).
  2. Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish until evenly combined; set aside.
  3. Spread a thin layer of melted butter on each slice of gluten-free bread, ensuring all sides are coated.
  4. Dunk each bread slice into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, pressing gently to coat both sides thoroughly. Shake off excess.
  5. Place the coated slices onto the warm skillet, hearing a gentle crackle as they make contact.
  6. Cook the slices for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown and crispy, then flip carefully with a spatula.
  7. Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until similarly golden and fragrant, with caramelized cinnamon visible.
  8. Transfer the toasted slices to a plate, allowing them to rest for a minute to set the caramelized cinnamon sticky coating.
  9. Enjoy your warm, crispy, and sticky gluten-free cinnamon toast as a delightful breakfast or snack.
