Cinnamon toast is a classic comfort food that brings warmth and nostalgia with every bite. Whether you’re craving a sweet breakfast or a simple afternoon treat, cinnamon toast is the perfect go-to option. Here’s a quick, easy, and healthier twist on the traditional recipe using Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener, making it a low-carb and sugar-free delight.
Ingredients:
For the Cinnamon Butter Spread:
- 2 tbsp butter (softened)
- 1 tsp Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener (or more to taste)
- ½ tsp cinnamon powder
For Frying:
- Butter (for frying)
- Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener (for sprinkling)
For the Egg Mixture:
- 6 slices of bread (whole grain, low-carb, or your choice)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tsp Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener
- Pinch of salt
- 3 drops vanilla extract
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Make the Cinnamon Butter Spread:
- Start by mixing 2 tbsp of softened butter, 1 tsp of Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener, and ½ tsp of cinnamon powder in a small bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Set the cinnamon butter aside.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, crack the 2 eggs and add ½ cup of milk. Add 1 tsp of Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener, a pinch of salt, and 3 drops of vanilla extract.
- Whisk the ingredients together lightly until they are well blended and smooth.
- Spread the Cinnamon Butter on Bread:
- Take the 6 slices of bread and spread the cinnamon butter generously on one side of each slice. Make sure to cover the bread evenly, so each bite is full of that delicious cinnamon sweetness.
- Soak the Bread in the Egg Mixture:
- Dip each slice of buttered bread into the egg mixture, making sure the bread is soaked on all sides. This will ensure the cinnamon butter soaks into the bread while frying, creating that crispy, golden texture on the outside and soft, flavorful inside.
- Fry the Cinnamon Toast:
- Heat a skillet or frying pan on low to medium-low heat and melt a little butter in it. Once the pan is hot, place the soaked bread slices in the pan.
- Fry each slice of bread for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Be sure to adjust the heat if necessary to avoid burning the bread.
- Finishing Touches:
- Once the cinnamon toast is cooked to perfection, remove it from the skillet and place it on a plate.
- For an extra touch of sweetness, sprinkle powdered Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener over the warm cinnamon toast.
Enjoy!
