HEALTHY (BELIEVE IT!) CINNAMON TOAST
My mom used to give us decadent cinnamon-sprinkled toast, with butter or margarine to make the cinnamon-sugar stick. Now that I'm vegan and needed a butter alternative, I ended up creating this! Still has a dreamy flavor, but won't hurt you or the cows!

Steps:
- Mash the banana (easiest with a fork in a shallow bowl) to make the luscious "banana butter". Toast the bread.
- In a jar, combine the flax, sugar and cinnamon and shake till well mixed. You may want to add more sugar- this combo had just the right sweetness for me.
- Spread some of the mashed banana on each slice of bread, and generously sprinkle each with flaxen-cinnamon sugar.
- Enjoy with a cold glass of rice or soy milk and a fruit bowl.

CINNAMON TOAST
The ingredients for cinnamon toast - bread, cinnamon, sugar and butter - have remained largely unchanged since the recipe first appeared in 15th century Europe, where it was introduced as a less expensive version of French toast. Some variations call for adding the cinnamon and sugar before toasting, others after. The secret to achieving a cinnamon toast that's both gooey and crunchy? A combination of both methods. Toast the bread in butter in a skillet, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, flip so the sugar caramelizes, then sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar when it's done. Toasting the bread in a skillet (like French toast) produces browned butter, which adds nutty warmth.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cinnamon and salt.
- Melt some butter in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-low; you'll want enough to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet when melted. When bubbling, add as many bread slices as will fit. Swirl the bread around to absorb the butter, adding more butter if the pan is dry. Cook until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning.
- Add another pat of butter, flip the bread and swirl to coat the other side in butter, gently pressing the bread to pick up any browned bits. Sprinkle the toasted tops edge to edge with a thin layer of the cinnamon sugar. Cook until the underside is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more butter and adjusting temperature if the pan is dry or the toast is burning.
- Flip and cook until the sugar sizzles and starts to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a plate, sugar side up. (If any melted sugar sticks to the pan, gently swipe the bread over it to pick it up.) Sprinkle toasts with more cinnamon sugar. Wipe skillet and repeat with any remaining bread.
Tips:
- Use thick-sliced bread for a more substantial toast.
- Spread the butter on the bread while it's still warm from the toaster for a better spread.
- Use a variety of cinnamon sugars to create different flavor combinations.
- Try adding other spices, such as nutmeg or cardamom, to the cinnamon sugar for a more complex flavor.
- If you don't have cinnamon sugar, you can make your own by mixing ground cinnamon with sugar.
- Top the toast with nuts, seeds, or dried fruit for extra crunch and flavor.
- Serve the toast with butter, jam, or syrup for a sweet treat.
Conclusion:
Cinnamon toast is a quick and easy breakfast or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its simple ingredients and endless variations, it's a versatile dish that can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and delicious meal, give cinnamon toast a try.
