How To Make It Diabetes-Friendly
You can enjoy a tasty version of cinnamon toast that’s better for managing blood sugar. Here are some easy swaps to make this treat more diabetes-friendly:
Choose whole grain bread instead of white bread. Whole grains have more fiber and nutrients.
Use a sugar substitute in place of regular sugar. Mix 1/4 cup of a granulated sweetener like stevia or monk fruit with the cinnamon.
Try a low-fat spread or mashed banana instead of butter. This cuts down on saturated fat and calories.
Add sliced strawberries or bananas on top for natural sweetness and extra nutrition.
To make it, toast 4 slices of whole grain bread. Spread each slice with 1 tablespoon of mashed banana or low-fat spread. Mix 1 teaspoon cinnamon with 1/4 cup sugar substitute and sprinkle on the toast.
These changes lower the carb and calorie count while keeping the yummy cinnamon flavor you love. You can still enjoy this childhood favorite as part of a diabetes-friendly diet. Remember to watch your portion size and pair it with some protein for a balanced snack or breakfast.
Tips, Tricks & Storing
For the best cinnamon toast, use room temperature butter. It spreads more easily and melts faster. Try different types of bread like sourdough or whole wheat for a twist on the classic.
Make a big batch of cinnamon sugar mix. Store it in an airtight container and use it for quick treats anytime. The mix stays fresh for months.
Want extra crunch? Pop your toast under the broiler for 1-2 minutes after adding the cinnamon sugar. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.
You can make cinnamon toast ahead of time. Just toast the bread and store it in a ziplock bag. When ready to eat, warm it up and add the butter and cinnamon sugar.
Leftover cinnamon toast? Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven for best results.
Try these tasty add-ons:
- A dash of nutmeg
- A sprinkle of cocoa powder
- A drizzle of honey
For a fun twist, cut your toast into strips and serve with a side of warm vanilla milk for dipping.
