Calling all coconut lovers out there! This recipe is for you!! This coconut syrup is what dreams are made of.  It’s delicious on ice cream, waffles, pancakes, and especially on this golden coconut french toast.

Everyone’s favorite Breakfast

This is my go-to breakfast when we have family and friends stay the night.  It’s everyone’s favorite and i always have requests for the recipe.  If you really want to blow their minds, serve this coconut french toast and coconut syrup with some bacon fried hash browns.  Then you have the sweet, chewy french toast and the savory bacon hash browns.  Your guests will never want to  leave!

 Helpful Hints : Coconut Syrup

• When making the syrup, you want to boil the ingredients just until the color of the syrup turns to a golden color.  As soon as it turns golden, remove from the heat.
• This is very similar to a lot of buttermilk syrup recipes out there, just kicked up a notch!
• You can get coconut extract in the baking isle, close to the vanilla extract
• You can do half coconut flavoring and half vanilla flavoring too.  The vanilla makes a very rich and deeply sweet syrup
• If you love the texture of coconut, you can add coconut shavings to the syrup too.  It’s best if you chop it up into smaller pieces so it’s easy to pour
• Be sure to use a large pot to cook this in.  The combination of the baking soda and the buttermilk will make the syrup bubble up twice it’s volume.
• Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container.  The Coconut syrup can easily be warmed up in a pot on the stove.

Pro Tips: Coconut French Toast

• There’s a little brown sugar in the recipe. It helps get that golden color on the French Toast
• I used regular coconut flakes in my egg batter but you could use the smaller, unsweetened flakes too
• Coconut oil is a great way to fry this french toast too.  In fact, it makes the french toast a little more crispy (who doesn’t love that!?!)
• I like a little pinch of nutmeg in with my french toast but if your family doesn’t care for the taste of nutmeg, cinnamon will do great alone.

Here’s the recipe.  Let me know if you have any questions!
