French Toast with Maple Orange Syrup Recipe

by

Nielsen-Massey Pure Orange ExtractDuring the weekends my family enjoys sitting down and having a big, hot breakfast together. We all take turns making pancakes, waffles, French toast, omelets, breakfast burritos, various breakfast casseroles and all sorts of other things.

Recently we decided to whip up some homemade French Toast and we made the Nielsen-Massey Maple Orange Syrup to go along with it. For this recipe, you’ll need a bottle of their Pure Orange Extract which is absolutely fantastic! It’s a great extract to have on hand for all of your cooking & baking needs.

1/2 tsp. of Orange Extract = 2 Tbsp. Orange Juice
1/2 tsp. of Orange Extract = 1/2 Orange Zest

So, if you don’t have any fresh oranges or orange juice on hand, this extract will work perfectly!

French Toast 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.

* Note: Some people like a LOT of egg when they make this recipe, so feel free to add-in more egg if desired.

I received a complimentary bottle of the Nielsen-Massey Pure Orange Extract and love it! We are NOT big orange juice drinkers, so most of the time I don’t have oranges or orange juice on-hand when a recipe calls for it. It’s a lot easier to just have this bottle of extract on hand and besides…I love the taste of it!

    With the holidays coming up and all the baking I will be doing, I would love to try the Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract.

    I would love to try this product also from their site; Pure Peppermint Extract
    Peppermint, and its use in candy canes, ice creams and cookies, has long been a favorite of the holiday season, but its culinary uses don’t have to end with the return of spring. Crafted from the finest mint oils under the strictest quality standards, our Pure Peppermint Extract is perfect for flavoring teas and complementing chocolate in cakes, icings and ice cream. And, for a refreshing delight, add to savory dishes such as pork, lamb and poultry.

    When I make Chocolate chip cookies with dried cherry bits, I find that the Nielsen Massey Madagascar Bourbon vanilla extract enhances the cookie flavor.

    I would also like their vanilla extract and lemon extract. This orange sounds wonderful. I would like it for my whole wheat/oats waffles. They are totally healthy and this would take them over the top in flavor. Actually I would love every single one of their flavors what a nice cabinet view that would be. You could try something new every day.

    I would love to try their Pure Chocolate Extract! I have never used a chocolate extract so I am interested by the possible uses

    I think the Pure Peppermint Extract would be great to try this Christmas. I like to make Peppermint Fudge, so it would work great in that.
