The BEST French Toast With Caramel Syrup (Video)

Filed Under: Bread Recipes

Jump to Recipe

Our French toast with caramel syrup is a weekend delicacy. Thich Texas cut toast is dipped in a cinnamon and vanilla egg batter then cooked over a hot griddle until golden, and drizzled in homemade caramel syrup. Perfection!

This caramel syrup would be amazing drizzled over our crispy waffles or puffy German pancakes.

I love French toast, and think that our recipe is pretty delicious. I flavor the egg and milk batter with vanilla and cinnamon, and always use French bread or thick sliced Texas toast. Sprinkled in powdered sugar and served with fresh fruit—perfection. Or is it?

The BEST French Toast With Caramel Syrup

I wasn’t sure anything could make it better until I tried drizzling homemade caramel syrup over those golden slices of French toast.

This syrup recipe is from GoToRecipes on Instagram, and is so easy to customize. I flavored mine with vanilla for a caramel flavored syrup, but you can use coconut or almond extract for more variations.

The Ingredients

There is nothing healthy about this syrup, but it is SO GOOD.

You’ll need 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup), 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.

Combine the first 3 ingredients in a large pot and simmer for 5 minutes once it comes to a boil. Then stir in the vanilla and baking soda.

Note: the mixture rises as it bubbles, so use a bigger pan than you think you’d need.

This syrup is best served warm. You can easily microwave it for a few seconds to reheat and bring it back to a syrup consistency.

Want a thicker caramel syrup?

Simmer it for 7 minutes instead of 5. It’s that easy! Store syrup in a jar in the refrigerator.

Both the 5 minute version and the 7 minute version are delicious drizzled over vanilla ice cream or cinnamon rolls.

I’ve also seen this recipe made with buttermilk which also looks delicious.

How To Make The BEST French Toast

Like I mentioned before, I always use French bread or Texas toast for making French toast. I love the thicher sliced bread.

Combine eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon then dip the bread on both sides. Butter a hot griddle and cook until golden brown on both sides.

Drizzle with caramel syrup and serve with fresh fruit.

This year I filled the jar with petite sour hearts after hearing how amazing they are from @triedandtruemoms. They were right, we are all fans over here! Maybe more places will stock them now that they are in such demand. I ordered mine from @candynationusa (don’t waste your time looking on Amazon. They are charging twice as much for less candy).

Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻
