Does Cinnamon Toast Make You Happy? Try This Healthier Version! by Elisa Schmitz

As a child, one of my favorite comfort foods was cinnamon toast.That warm, buttery, cinnamon-sweet goodness just made me happy. Turns out, it may have been good for me, too. Cinnamon has long been regarded as a super-spice used in traditional medicine around the world. It's known for its antioxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and may even lower blood pressure and reduce cholesterol. Here's my version of a "healthier" cinnamon toast!

You’ll need:

• whole grain bread (I use gluten-free)
• unsalted butter
• sugar
• cinnamon

Here’s how to make it:

1. Spread a thin layer of unsalted butter to barely coat the toast.
2. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sugar in a circle.
3. Liberally apply cinnamon to the toast.

Get ready to be happy!
