Chunky Cinnamon French Toast is the best French toast you will ever have. The easy homemade caramel syrup to drizzle on top is incredible! Make this for breakfast as soon as you can!
There is a bakery and cafe chain here in Utah called Kneaders. I’m totally obsessed with their food. They have the most delicious homemade breads, cookies, soups, sandwiches. You name it. Whenever I’m in need of a good lunch or even a gift for a friend I go there. They have the most amazing gift baskets with assortments of all their delicious treats.
If I had to choose my favorite thing to eat there it would be their CHUNKY CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST. It is unbelievably delicious! They use their chunky cinnamon bread and slice it thick, and turn it into the most heavenly French Toast you could ever imagine.
Wait, it gets better.
They don’t just use maple syrup. It comes with a dreamy caramel syrup, and a side of fresh whipped cream and strawberries! Mmm I am getting hungry just thinking about it.
If you don’t have a Kneaders where you live you’re still in luck! I found a copycat version of their amazing French Toast that tastes just like the real thing. When I made this for my family I made them guess if it was homemade or from Kneaders. They all said Kneaders. Ha! Because it really does taste the same. If you’re a fan of French Toast and just delicious food then please try this recipe. Your family will thank you for it! 😉
