Cinnamon. Toast. Bars. If you make nothing else that I’ve shared with you, you NEED Cinnamon Toast Bars in your life. These bars are a twist on my beloved Cinnamon Toast Cake; it has been a favorite since I was a little girl.
No fork or plate required this is the ultimate handheld dessert for every cinnamon toast loving person.
Cinnamon Toast Bars are covered in a crunchy, caramelized cinnamon sugar topping that is like nothing else you’ve ever tasted. I’ve made these bars 6 times in the past month. They are crazy good, completely dangerous, and absurdly easy to make. Barefeet In The Kitchen creator video with Mary YounkinPlay Video
You don’t have to take my word for it either. Rebecca at Foodie with Family made these bars in both the traditional and vegan versions and her family and friends loved them.
Her post eventually led to a community thread over at King Arthur Flour. The comments made me laugh as they proclaimed their love for the Cinnamon Toast Bars.
In the fall and around the holidays there is an excuse to make a dessert almost every time I turn around. We have birthdays every month from September through December, parties and get-togethers happen almost every weekend.
