One of our favorite childhood cereals that resembled a bowl of mini-French toasts can be made at home. 

Servings

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tablespoon baking soda
• 4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2/3 cup butter, at room temperature
• 2/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoon vanilla
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Combine the flours, baking soda, and cinnamon in a bowl. Then, pulse the flours with the butter in a food processor until the butter is about pea sized and forms a shaggy dough. Add the vanilla, honey, and buttermilk, and pulse again until a dough forms.
3. Chill the dough for about 15 minutes in the fridge. Then, roll out the dough on a parchment lined, lightly floured surface. Use a knife to cut your dough into cinnamon toast crunch squares. Bake in the pre-heated oven until lightly brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Combine the sugar and cinnamon, and toss the still warm cinnamon toast crunch in the cinnamon sugar. Cool completely on a baking rack before eating.
