This oven-baked version of cinnamon sugar toast is the ultimate treat! It’s golden, crisp, and infused with buttery, maple-cinnamon goodness.
Cinnamon toast is a childhood classic that uses simple pantry ingredients to make a sweet treat that is delicious for breakfast or dessert.
We prefer the oven-baked version because it allows the sugar to melt a little and create a crispy topping and edges that are melt-in-the-mouth delicious!
In this recipe, we have added a touch of sea salt to finish the dish, which brings out the flavors and balances all the sweetness perfectly.
We have also added some maple syrup that brings in its unique flavor and makes this toast feel super indulgent.

Oven-Baked Salted Maple Cinnamon Sugar Toast
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick-cut bread (brioche, sourdough, or Texas toast work great)
- 4 tbsp salted butter, softened
- 4 tbsp maple syrup (use pure maple syrup for the best flavor)
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of sea salt flakes (like Maldon)
Instructions
Ingredients
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
- Spread an even layer of softened salted butter on both sides of each slice of bread. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a spoon, drizzle 1 tablespoon of maple syrup over the top side of each slice. Spread it gently to coat the surface.
- Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the maple-drizzled bread. Don’t forget to cover the edges for a caramelized crust.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through to toast both sides evenly. The edges should be golden and crisp.
- Broil the toast on high for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking to caramelize the top. Keep an eye on it so you don’t burn it!
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes over each slice while warm.
