gimme some suga’
June 24, 2011 The other night when Kelsey tossed popcorn with butter, cinnamon, + sugar, I had a flashback to my childhood. We always had a little spice container of cinnamon sugar, that I used to shake all over buttered toast.
My favorite sugary cereal, definitely used to be cinnamon toast crunch.
I’ve always been a lover of cinnamon, and I don’t think that’s ever going to change. Now, why + when did I stop sprinkling this delightful treat on my toast?
Cinnamon Sugar Toast Mix
- 1.5t sugar
- 1/4t cinnamon
- 1/8t vanilla extract [optional]
- Mix together + sprinkle on buttery toast…or oatmeal!
Have you ever eaten oatmeal with butter + brown sugar or cinnamon sugar? That used to be my go-to combo!
I savored every single bite of this crunchy, buttery, sugary sweet toast. The salty butter balances the cinnamon sugar perfectly. It was obviously accompanied by three farm fresh eggs.
These eggs are not scrambled and they’re not sunny side up or fried. So what are they?
Pour, poke + spread eggs! [step by step post]
Pour, Poke, + Spread Eggs
- Heat a pan over medium-low heat and lightly spray or oil your pan to prevent sticking.
- Crack however many eggs in a bowl, and pour into the pan.
- Poke the yolk[s] with a metal spatula or fork.
- Spread around the pan, and cover with foil.
- Let cook until desired doneness. [Because of the foil, you do not have to “scramble” or “flip” the eggs to cook them. The heat will circulate and cook the top.]
- Slide out of the pan with the spatula.
I always leave my eggs sliiightly runny. This is my favorite way to cook eggs. It’s perfect for adding to a veggie burger sandwich as well.
I’m still chomping on the gluten free bread from Great Harvest and it’s delicious. It’s a very thick bread with a nice nutty + slight honey flavor. Definitely a great once in awhile, bread craving treat!
Time to get ready for the wedding!

I always had cinnamon and sugar toast too when I was younger, but you are right I haven't had it in forever! There was also some sort of spread my Mom would buy that was a cinnamon spread... I must try and find it again! Ahh, childhood memories :)
Yay! Cinnamon is quite possibly my most favorite flavor (except gum, I'm somehow allergic to cinnamon gum)!! I love cinnamon toast and cinnamon toast crunch, and I really love your idea of adding vanilla to the mix!!!
Eggs like at amelies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh how I want a carmel salted brownie. now.
OH I used to love putting cinnamon sugar on buttered toast when I was a kid!!! You are so right, I don't know why I stopped eating that either! It used to be one of my favorite after school treats.
You always make me crave eggs! I love the pour poke and spread method :)
I tried your pour, poke + spread eggs technique and I must say... it's my new favorite way to cook and eat eggs!

Cinnamon sugar toast was a treat at our house--loved it! I also love pour, poke and spread eggs. Its about the only way I make them any more.
WE had a container of cinnamon sugar too!!!!!!!
Now, you have to be careful for white sugar-- most beet sugar is GM now (GAH!!!). But I'd GLADLY make it again out of raw sugar or organic sugar and cinnamon!!! YUM-O!
Cinnamon Sugar Toast was my FAVORITE breakfast as a child!
I called that "cinnamon toast" and it was a childhood STAPLE!
I used to sprinkle cinnamon sugar on my buttered toast too! Cinnamon toast in our house! Mmmm I bet it's good with oatmeal. Have a fun wedding quick weekend! Your eggs look pretty, but I don't eat yolks often!

My sister used to bring a cinnamon sugar + butter sandwich to school every day when we were younger ;). She branches out a little more now haha.
Hmm I always love to put cinnamon and ground ginger into peanut butter sammies. I love those eggs! I will be trying this technique veryvery soon.
I LOVE cinnamon sugar toast! It reminds me of my childhood. I love making it for my kids now. Perfect breakfast if you ask me!
I'm a HUGE fan of cinnamon- so much that I put it on everything :)!
I tried making eggs that method that day and it didn't turn out! They turned into a fried egg. I'll try a few things different next time :)
I used to eat cinnamon/sugar toast as a kid a lot. Now I make it for my kids whenever they are sick. They think it is such a special treat! I laughed when I read your post because I just had some last night on gluten-free buckwheat bread from Great Harvest! It was my first time trying the bread, and I was so impressed with how good it is! SO much better than store-bought gf bread!
That looks really good! My mom still has a jar that has cinnamon sugar in it and she used to sprinkle it on buttered toast then run it under the broiler until the sugar melted and became almost candy like. It was sooooooo good!!!!!
cinnamon and sugar toast used to be my fave when I was little! Especially on white bread with lots o' butter :D.

We used to have a cinnamon sugar shaker too! We loved it!

Cinnamon sugar toast was my breakfast 90% of my high school career :)
oh my gosh, cinnamon/sugar toast gives me the most nostalgic feeling! I always had this as an after school snack growing up and now I make it when I'm in need of comfort food :)
Cinnamon toast was my favorite breakfast ever growing up. It was a Saturday morning staple!
Did you ever try cinnamon toast crunch with craisins and chocolate chips? Holy heaven on earth. It was an amazing combination! I love cinnamon toast, in fact I'm eating it RIGHT now on an udi's bagel :D
I just started doing cinnamon on my peanut butter toast in the mornings, but did you know, cinnamon's actually really good for you? It helps lower blood sugar and is beneficial for diabetics. Look it up, it's really surprising.
Hmmmm cinnamon love!
I specially like it on french toast (it just fits so well with eggs), cinnamon/sugar or brown sugar, little bit of heaven!
Oh goodness gracious, my mom had a mason jar sitting on the counter of cinnamon and sugar which I would also put on my morning toast with butter (the real deal butter too). I would also sneak another spoonful when she wasn't looking haha. Why did I ever stop eating such a sinfully delicious combo? I now know what I'm having as a snack later today :) Mhmm, and maybe now some eggs since they look so tasty in your photo!
