Description
A recipe for making crispy, sweet cinnamon sugar cereal at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Trim the crusts off the bread slices.
- Cut each slice of bread into 9 small squares, resulting in 36 pieces total.
- Place the bread squares in a medium bowl. Drizzle the melted butter over the bread and toss gently until all pieces are lightly coated.
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered bread pieces. Toss carefully until the squares are evenly coated.
- Spread the coated bread squares in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overlap the pieces.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cereal pieces are golden brown and crisp. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let the cereal cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
- Store cooled cereal in an airtight container.
Notes
- For extra crispness, you can bake for a few extra minutes after the initial 10 minutes, checking frequently.
- You can adjust the cinnamon and sugar ratio to your taste preference.
