Recipe: Cinnamon Butter French Toast with Maple Syrup Drizzle & Berries

Serves 2–3 | Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 10 mins

Ingredients

For the French Toast:

  • 4 thick slices of Naturally Genius Tiger Bloomer
  • 2 large eggs
  • 120ml milk (can be dairy or alternative milk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1–2 tbsp butter (for frying)

For the Cinnamon Butter:

  • 50g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar

Maple Syrup Drizzle:

  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup

For Serving:

  • Fresh mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
  • Extra maple syrup, for drizzling
  • A dusting of icing sugar

 
Method

1. Make the Cinnamon Butter

  1. In a small bowl, mash together the softened butter, cinnamon, and maple syrup until smooth.

  2. Set aside — this will melt over the warm toast later.

2. Prepare the Egg Mixture

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar, and salt.

  2. Slice your Naturally Genius Tiger Bloomer into thick slices (around 2.5–3 cm). The bread’s rustic crust and soft crumb make it ideal for soaking without falling apart.

  3. Dip each slice into the mixture, turning to coat well. Let it soak for 10–15 seconds per side.

3. Cook the French Toast

  1. Heat a large non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and melt a knob of butter.

  2. Add the soaked bread slices and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp at the edges.

  3. Brush or dollop a little cinnamon butter on each slice while still warm.

4. Make the Whipped Maple Yogurt

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla until light and fluffy.

  2. Spoon into a small serving pot or ramekin.

5. Assemble & Serve

  1. Stack or layer the cinnamon butter French toast on a plate.

  2. Drizzle with warm maple syrup.

  3. Scatter with fresh berries.

  4. Dust lightly with icing sugar (optional).

  5. Serve with the pot of whipped maple yogurt on the side for dipping or spreading.
