Ummm, forget Wheaties -- homemade cinnamon toast is the real breakfast of champions. My mom used to make this for us when we were little. Just take a piece (or three) of bread, spread on a few thin pats of butter, and sprinkle away with the sugar and cinnamon to your heart's content (and don't be stingy!). When it comes out of the toaster oven a minute later, the result is a lazy woman's coffee cake. Heavenly...
This wonderful flavor makes you just sigh out loud! The Southerner in me must remind you that cinnamon toast is best on white bread!

Mon, Yes, unfortunately all I have in the house right now is 7-grain...but once it gets fixed up just so, you can barely tell.
Claire, enjoy!

So simple and delicious. Totally reminds me of childhood, too. And when I visit my grandmother in Kansas, she still makes it for me.
Do you ever buy the cinnamon and sugar that's already mixed together?

Beth -- no, never heard of that! If I become an addict it might save me precious time, though...
