Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 cups fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it is fully liquefied and bubbling gently.
Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon to the melted butter. Stir continuously with a whisk or spoon until the sugar dissolves fully into the butter and a smooth mixture forms.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer (do not boil), and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If using chopped pecans or walnuts, fold them into the mixture at this stage.
Let the topping cool slightly. The consistency will thicken as it cools. Spoon the warm topping generously over freshly prepared French toast.
For added presentation, garnish with fresh berries and a light dusting of powdered sugar. Serve immediately and enjoy!
