Some people make oatmeal. Others have cereal. Or fruit. Or fruit on their cereal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it’s important to know the basics of a sweet breakfast treat that, for most people, takes too much time and effort. Yes, you know I’m talking about cinnamon toast. (And for the record, I’m NOT talking about cinnamon toast cereal from a box). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what makes cinnamon toast so special, besides its melty sugary cinnamony goodness? The answer is simple — it gives you that one moment in your day when you get to sit down for just a few minutes and truly enjoy something without having to rush off immediately to go somewhere else. That’s because it takes time to make cinnamon toast the RIGHT way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the simple, easy way to make cinnamon toast — consider it an experiment in taking a little time out of your crazy day to make something you can be proud of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Toast a slice of bread in your toaster. Two slices if you want to share or are especially hungry after climbing a mountain or running a half-marathon.<\/li>
  2. While the bread is toasting, get out a tub of butter. Also mix a few spoonfuls of sugar with a smaller quantity of cinnamon. (You’ll need to experiment to find that PERFECT ratio of sugar\/cinnamon. Fortunes have risen and fallen over information this valuable.)<\/li>
  3. HERE’S THE SECRET: As SOON as the bread (now toast) pops up out of the toaster, grab it and throw it on a plate. Then, as fast as humanly possible while still following all standard kitchen safety rules, take a knife and spread butter on the hot toast. As soon as you’re done, QUICKLY sprinkle the sugar\/cinnamon mixture over the melting butter.

    Why is this important? If you’re fast enough and the sugary\/cinnamon mix hits the buttery toast while it’s all still hot, it carmelizes and creates a little slice of heaven.
    <\/li>
  4. The last step is the best one: take a few minutes and enjoy the masterpiece you’ve created. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Will eating a leisurely piece of cinnamon toast change your life? Well, I certainly can’t PROVE the rumors that Galileo, Shakespeare and Albert Einstein all ate cinnamon toast before they started their day. But I know what I believe. They understood it’s important not only important to start the day with breakfast but to make sure it’s a breakfast you can be proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where will cinnamon toast take you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
