Christmas Morning Cinnamon Toast

Mrs. Janet's Note:

This is so good. You can make it ahead of time and then pop it in the oven on Christmas morning. My kids love it year round. It is always a big hit at any breakfast or brunch.

Very good...made two batches. BUT I found after mixing the first 3 ingredients that the mixture was a little loose to work with....any helpful suggestions

My kids loved these!! I just made them again and this time I sprinkled the cinnamon sugar mixture on top instead of rolling them in it. I may get some spray butter next time and give that a try as well. I may try using soft tofu for some of the cream cheese too. This one is definitely a keeper for our breakfast for dinner nights.

Brilliant! These are so good. Had them Christmas brekkie with Baileys coffee. Even better after they had crisped up a bit and still good cold three days later (we made a lot). Probably not too good if you have cardio issues!
