French toast is definitely one of my favorite breakfast treats. It’s so simple to make, and it reminds me of childhood Saturday mornings with cartoons and pajamas.

Now that I’m an adult and I have a bit of a more refined palate than I did when I was young, the monotony of french toast with maple syrup can get a bit old. So, I like to branch out and experiment with other toppings.

Here are some suggestions for putting a twist on a classic plate of french toast.

Raspberries and Dark Chocolate Syrup

Raspberries and dark chocolate go together perfectly, and plopping them onto a slice of french toast takes the flavor game to the next level. The tartness of the raspberries ensures that the dish isn’t too sweet. It’s decadent and delicious.

Cinnamon Butter

One of french toast’s building blocks is cinnamon, and there’s nothing wrong with amping up that flavor a little bit! I like making rich cinnamon butter for my french toast, especially in autumn when it’s in fashion.

Vanilla Ice Cream

Want to turn your french toast into a dessert? Putting a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top makes for a decadent treat that works so well. If you’re feeling crazy, you could even sprinkle some chocolate-covered espresso beans on top!
