Coffee Creamer French Toast: Ingredients
The cinnamon French toast coffee creamer is the star of this dish, infusing each bite with a warm, sweet essence that transforms a traditional breakfast favorite. Brown sugar and cinnamon provide a comforting balance of sweetness and spice, enhancing the rich flavor of the creamer.
The splash of Mexican vanilla adds depth and warmth, perfectly complementing the creamy base. Thick Italian bread, with its hearty texture, absorbs the egg mixture beautifully, creating a golden, crisp exterior that contrasts wonderfully with the soft, custard-like interior.
A touch of butter gives a golden, slightly crisp finish, while optional whipped cream, caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of cinnamon elevate this French toast to indulgent perfection.
Coffee Creamer French Toast: Recipe Tips
- Choose the Right Bread: For the best results, use thick, hearty bread such as Italian or brioche. These types of bread absorb the egg mixture without becoming too soggy, giving you that perfect golden-brown texture on the outside while staying soft and custardy inside.
- Don’t Over-soak the Bread: When dipping the bread into the egg mixture, aim for 5-7 seconds per side. Over-soaking can make the bread too soggy and difficult to cook evenly. Just a quick dip allows for the perfect texture and prevents the bread from falling apart during cooking.
- Adjust the Sweetness: Depending on how sweet you like your French toast, you can adjust the amount of cinnamon coffee creamer or brown sugar. If you prefer a more subtle sweetness, use less creamer or opt for a sugar substitute, such as stevia, to create a lower-calorie option.
What to Serve with Coffee Creamer French Toast
- Fresh Fruit Medley: Complement the richness of this cinnamon-flavored French toast with a refreshing mix of fresh berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. The tartness of the fruit balances the sweetness of the toast, adding a burst of freshness and color to your breakfast.
- Crispy Bacon or Sausage: The savory, salty crunch of bacon or sausage pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of the coffee creamer French toast. The contrasting flavors will make each bite more satisfying and provide a well-rounded breakfast or brunch option.
- Scrambled Eggs: For a heartier meal, serve your French toast alongside fluffy scrambled eggs. The light, creamy eggs are the perfect complement to the crisp, sweet toast, offering a balance of flavors and textures to start your day off right.
FAQ
1. Can I use regular milk instead of coffee creamer?
Yes, you can substitute regular milk if you don’t have cinnamon coffee creamer. However, the coffee creamer adds a unique sweetness and flavor that regular milk won’t provide. To replicate the flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon and a splash of vanilla extract to your milk.
2. Can I make this French toast ahead of time?
While French toast is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the egg mixture in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. You can also cook the French toast ahead of time and reheat it in the oven or on a skillet for a few minutes before serving.
3. Can I use a different type of bread?
Absolutely! While Italian bread works great, you can substitute other bread types like challah, sourdough, or even gluten-free bread. Just make sure the bread is thick enough to hold up to the egg mixture without falling apart.
4. How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make this recipe dairy-free, swap the cinnamon coffee creamer for a dairy-free alternative like almond or oat milk with added cinnamon and vanilla. Also, choose a dairy-free butter substitute for cooking the French toast.
