- Serves:

1
ingredients
- 1 slice white bread
- 1 dash ground cinnamon
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons granulated artificial sweetener (to taste)
- 3 teaspoons natural nonfat yogurt
- 2 teaspoons raisins (to taste) or 2 teaspoons sultanas (to taste)
directions
- place slice of bread on plate it's to be served on.
- Quickly spread a couple of teaspoons of fat-free natural yoghurt over the slice so it's generously thick.
- Sprinkle very generously with granulated sweetener.
- using back of spoon smooth the sweetener into the yoghurt.
- Sprinkle fairly generously with ground cinnamon (to taste).
- Quickly strategically place raisins onto the slice - about as many as you'd get in a slice of cinnamon and raisin bread works well - or a few more! - to taste.
- Lightly press the raisins so they get a moment or two to soak a bit of the yoghurt.
- SERVE -- Goes great with a nice cup of coffee! Yummy!
- Optionally you might like to strategically add a very few drops of lime juice or lemon juice.
- pleasing note for us dieters --
- This is where granulated sweetener really comes into it's own -- this just would not be the same with sugar. Granulated sweetener dissolves instantly even when the liquid is very cold whereas made with sugar this would be all crunchy and probably nothing like as nice!

Marvelous, Ethan. What a great idea. I didn't use the sweetener or sugar and didn't miss it a bit. I used Greek yogurt and think it's particularly appropriate in that it's quite a bit thicker than most yogurts. I'm going to have this for breakfast often. It's the perfect balance of carbs and protein for my needs when served on whole wheat toast.

This was okay. I think I put too much cinnamon on. I ate this with a pear, that was nice. So I think it was my fault, not the recipe's. I'll definitely try it again though, and thanks for the idea! UPDATE - I tried this with cottage cheese, and I found I didn't even need sugar, thanks to the sweetness of the fruit which brought out the cinnamon anyway. But then, I don't really have a sweet tooth so most people would probably still want to sweeten it up. Also I used a crumpet, and put the cinnamon underneath the cheese, so that the cinnamon soaked into the hot crumpet. It's yummy!

Ethan, after viewing Bergy's photo of your recipe--I wanted to try it. Yum! Did some tweating. Toasted bread like Bergy, used glops of vanilla yogurt; soaked my raisins in orange juice while toasting; added some fresh orange zest and sprinkled flavored coffee creamer *swiss cinnamon*. Hope you don't mind, Ethan. Excellent recipe!! Thanks so much.
