One of my family's go-to breakfasts happens to be French Toast. It's super easy to make and you can use all kinds of different breads and toppings on it to keep things interesting. On a busy workday & school day morning, I can make it and get it onto the table quickly. Luckily for me, every member in my household loves it, so it makes breakfast time stress-free.

Today I'm sharing with all of you Nielsen-Massey's recipe for homemade Maple Orange Syrup and my recipe (using their vanilla and pure orange extract) to make homemade French Toast. YUMMY GOOD! You can find all kinds of easy-to-make and delicious recipes on their website.

French Toast with Maple Orange Syrup Recipe

To Make French Toast:

4-6 slices of bread
2-3 large eggs
1/4 tsp. Nielsen-Massey Pure Orange Extract
1/4 tsp. Nielsen-Massey Tahitian Pure Vanilla Extract
3-4 Tbsp. milk
dash of ground cinnamon
butter or non-stick cooking spray

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the large eggs, extracts, dash of ground cinnamon and milk until blended.  Heat up your frying pan over medium heat using a little bit of butter or non-stick cooking spray. Dip your bread slices into the prepared egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides. Place into a hot frying pan and simmer until lightly brown, flip the slices over and simmer the other side until lightly brown.

To Make Maple Orange Syrup:

1 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Tahitian Pure Vanilla Extract
1/8 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Pure Orange Extract

Whisk together the above three ingredients in a glass measuring cup or small glass pitcher, until blended. Pour syrup over hot slices of French Toast and serve immediately.
