This is a variation on a traditional cinnamon toast my mom used to make for us growing up… sometimes as a bedtime snack or a family night treat. I think this would make a delicious part of a mother’s day breakfast made by the kids, showing their love by helping make mom breakfast- instead of the other way around!
Here are all the ingredients…
And here we are making the yummy hearts and cleaning up after.
