One of the things I remember most about my childhood was when my mother made me cinnamon toast. Usually it was just toasted white bread, toasted, buttered and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. She also loved cinnamon raisin bread and bought the red bagged Sun Maid brand all the time.

I love to make yeasts breads, don’t get me wrong, but also really enjoy a good quick bread. They certainly aren’t as intimidating as a yeast bread, and they don’t require the prep work a yeast bread does.
I actually made this two times and adapted the recipe to my liking. I added another egg and some baking powder.
Note: I adapted a recipe I found on a site called Honest Kitchen. So strange that when I went back to link to them their site was just gone. Now it’s a pet food store.
Anyway, this is very easy and quite tasty, though in my opinion, it’s best served warm. Don’t panic at the amount of cinnamon sugar. It’s seems like a lot, but it truly does the trick!

Hi Amanda, you are absolutely correct…that Honest Kitchen website is no longer a cooking blog so fear not what others say. This recipe looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it. Love your enthusiasm and honesty.

My mom used to buy the red bag Sun Maid brand too when I was a kid! I always felt special when she would share “Her” bread with me, toasted and buttered. :) Great memories. I make the yeast version of this about once a month, but I love the fact that this is a quick bread. I’ll have to try it soon.

Hello,
Isn’t it a recipe coming from the site Honest cooking?
I think Ifound it there. Thank you anyway for your recipe, we just began to cook.
Best regards.

Hi Tante. You’ll see in the post that I made a note that I found this recipe originally on Honest Kitchen, I had the actual direct linked saved so I could give them credit. However, when I went to go link to it, I found that it was gone. A little more investigation showed that the site was now owned by a dog food company, so their domain must have expired and it was snatched up right away. I did not find this recipe on the site you mentioned, Honest Cooking, but they may have it as well.
