Jennifer Garner Shares 'Perfect' 5-Ingredient Cinnamon Toast Recipe

Jennifer Garner, best known for her roles in "13 Going on 30" (2004), "Elektra" (2005), and "The Adam Project" (2022), is taking to social media to share the "perfect" cinnamon toast recipe, which has the internet, including other celebrities, going crazy!

The "13 Going on 30" actress and a mom of three has started a new "series" called "Pretend Cooking Show" where she shares playful videos of herself making delicious meals, including Shave Ice Palomas and Blueberry Buckle. In her latest episode, Garner shared her "perfect" cinnamon toast recipe, inspired by The New York Times.

"This perfect updated cinnamon toast makes for an indulgent Sunday morning or after school snack—and will give you instant Mom Hero Status," she wrote in the caption. Garner was married to Ben Affleck in 2005 and they share three kids together -- Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10. In October 2018, the two Hollywood stars finalized their divorce, three years after their separation.

In the video, Garner can be seen wearing navy leggings, a loose black tank top, and a baseball cap as she dances around her kitchen, having a blast making the cinnamon toast. It is clear the "Adam Project" actress loves cinnamon toast as she even tagged her friend Maria Hess saying it reminds their "little girl sleepovers".

Friends of the actress loved this video as many shared their thoughts by commenting on the post. Ballerina Tiler Peck commented, "French toast is my favorite. I have to try but I am just so bad at cooking :(" while Dr. Aliza Pressman commented, "This feels like one I can take on!!"

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow also chimed in, simply writing, "Perfection" while Catherine McCord commented, "My kids beg for this made under the broiler every other morning!"

The full five-ingredient cinnamon toast recipe, which is actually from The New York Times, is as follows:

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp granulated or brown sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• unsalted butter, for cooking
• 4 slices of bread

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, stir together sugar, cinnamon & salt.
2. Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over med-low; enough to lightly coat the bottom of skillet when melted. When bubbling, add as many bread slices as will fit. Swirl bread around to absorb butter, adding more if the pan is dry. Cook until light golden brown, 2-3 mins. Adjust heat as necessary to avoid burning.
3. Add another pat of butter, flip bread and swirl to coat the other side in butter, gently pressing the bread to pick up browned bits. Sprinkle the toasted top(s) with a thin layer of cinnamon sugar. Cook the underside until golden brown, 1-2 mins, adding more butter and adjusting temp if pan is dry or toast is burning.
4. Flip and cook until the sugar sizzles and starts to melt, 30 secs-1 min.
5. Transfer to a plate, sugar side up. Sprinkle toast(s) with more cinnamon sugar. Wipe skillet and repeat with any remaining bread.
6. YUM.
