Homemade Cinnamon Toast Crunch


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup cold milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Topping:

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar.

  3. Add Butter

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  • Combine Wet Ingredients
    In a small bowl, combine the cold milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

  • Roll Out Dough
    Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a thin, even layer, about 1/8 inch thick. For extra crispiness, roll the dough even thinner than 1/8 inch.

  • Transfer to Baking Sheet
    Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

  • Cut into Squares
    Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the dough into small squares, about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch in size.

  • Add Topping
    Lightly sprinkle the squares with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

  • Bake
    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the squares are golden brown and crisp.

  • Cool and Serve
    Allow the cereal to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking it apart along the cut lines. Serve with milk or as a snack.


  • Notes:

    • Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
    • Bake thoroughly until the edges are golden brown and the pieces feel firm to the touch.
    • Cool completely on the baking sheet for crispier results.

    Enjoy these Cinnamon Sugar Crisps as a crunchy, sweet treat any time!
