Ingredients for cinnamon toast
Unsalted butter
- I prefer unsalted butter because I can control the salt.
- You can also use salted butter.
- You can use vegan butter!
- I recommend creamy butter for cinnamon toast for more flavour.
- White sugar caramelises beautifully and is best for this toast.
Ground cinnamon
- The recipe’s star! Use your favourite ground cinnamon, but remember that good cinnamon tastes better than supermarket cinnamon.
- Due to my Ceylonese/Sri Lankan background, I always have access to home-grown, home-produced, irresistibly fresh Ceylon cinnamon from Sri Lanka!
- I use Korintje cinnamon and Ceylon cinnamon.
Sea salt
- Do not skip sea salt. Salt enhances toast flavour.
- It’s the difference between bland and flavorful cinnamon toast.
Optional ingredients
Vanilla
- Vanilla extract or sugar adds depth to sweetness.
Nutmeg
- A pinch of nutmeg elevates cinnamon toast! Christmas and holiday-themed cinnamon toast tastes like eggnog thanks to nutmeg!
Black pepper
- Black pepper adds heat and spice to sweet, crunchy cinnamon toast!
Thick bread slices
- I recommend using bread slices that are ¾ to 1 inch thick.
- A thicker slice of bread contrasts the crunchy caramel and the soft buttery inside because the bread is toasted on both sides on a pan.
Extra butter
- A slice of bread with cinnamon butter on one side can be toasted with butter on the other.
- The bread will be buttery, crunchy, and flavoured!

Cinnamon-butter ratio
- This cinnamon butter was inspired by my childhood butter-sugar caramel toast mix.
- For obvious reasons, sugar and butter with toast was my favourite childhood snack, but cinnamon was added later.
- The ideal sugar-to-butter ratio for cinnamon butter spread is up to you. In my opinion, the best cinnamon sugar butter ratio is 1:1 by weight.
- Applying too little butter adds too much sugar to toast.
- However, too much butter makes a greasy toast, and not enough cinnamon sugar mixture creates caramel crunch.
- For this cinnamon toast recipe, take 1 stick of butter (115 g) and mix it with 115 g of sugar (½ cup + 1 tbsp).
- I use 1 tsp of high-quality ground cinnamon per stick of butter.
- This ratio gives your toast the right cinnamon sugar and butteriness.
Other factors to consider
- Using low-quality supermarket cinnamon may require more cinnamon because the flavour may be weaker.
- Old ground cinnamon loses potency over time, so you may need to add more to get the same flavour.
- Using a different cinnamon may require adjusting the amount.
- I use Korintje cinnamon. Saigon cinnamon is spicier than korintje cinnamon, so use less. Ceylon cinnamon (true cinnamon) tastes floral and subtle, so add more to get a stronger flavour!
