Method
 

  1. Preheat your skillet over medium heat until it feels warm to the touch, and you start to smell a toasty aroma.
  2. Mix the cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl, creating an inviting fragrant blend.
  3. Spread a thin layer of butter or coconut oil over each slice of gluten-free bread, ensuring an even coating that will crisp nicely.
  4. Dip each bread slice into the cinnamon mixture, pressing gently to coat both sides thoroughly with the fragrant spice blend.
  5. Place the coated slices into the hot skillet, laying them flat and listening for a gentle sizzle as they begin to cook.
  6. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread turns golden brown and the edges become crispy, smelling warm and inviting.
  7. Flip the slices carefully with tongs or a spatula to ensure even browning, watching for the caramelized cinnamon crust to form.
  8. Once crispy and fragrant, transfer the toast to a cooling rack or plate, allowing the sugars to set for a minute.
  9. Optionally, drizzle with honey, sprinkle with extra cinnamon, or add berries for extra flavor and visual appeal.
