This isn’t your average French toast. With thick slices of golden-brown bread, a custard kissed with vanilla and cinnamon, and a generous drizzle of Wild West Waffles Vanilla Maple Syrup, this recipe is pure breakfast comfort.
Perfect for lazy mornings, weekend brunch, or holiday breakfasts with the family, this Vanilla Maple French Toast is easy to make but feels like a special treat. The syrup’s real vanilla bean flavor adds a rich, nostalgic twist that sets this dish apart.
If you’ve ever bitten into soggy French toast and thought, this ain’t it, then saddle up — we’re about to fix that. In this post, we’re breaking down how to get that perfect texture—crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside—plus tips for choosing the best bread, serving ideas, and creative toppings to make breakfast a little wilder (and a lot more delicious).
The secret? Start with day-old, thick-cut bread like brioche, Texas toast, or challah. These breads soak up the custard without falling apart, giving you that golden crust while staying tender inside.
For flavor, we use a combination of eggs, milk, a touch of cinnamon, and our Wild West Vanilla Maple Syrup, which adds the perfect hint of sweetness and warm vanilla — no need for extra extract.
Cook low and slow in butter until golden brown on each side. Serve it up with a pat of whipped butter, sliced bananas or berries, and a warm drizzle of that same Vanilla Maple Syrup. Want to get fancy? Try a dollop of cinnamon maple whipped cream, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or crushed pecans.
This recipe is family-tested and cowboy-approved — a weekend classic that’ll have everyone coming back for seconds.
