Serve it with a side of pineapple and top with macadamia nuts to pair with the flavor theme.

Equipment Needed for This Recipe
An electric grilled works great for this recipe, or a griddle for the stovetop or several non-stick skillets work well too (cook over medium heat, reducing temperature as needed).
How to Make Coconut French Toast

Dip bread slice into egg mixture Transfer to coconut and coat both sides. Cook through on buttered griddle, turning once.
Tip – keep an eye on the coconut. It can be a delicate ingredient with hotter heat so reduce griddle temp slightly as needed if it’s browning to much before french toast is cooking through.
How to Make Coconut Syrup
Melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in sugar and buttermilk. Bring mixture just to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda and coconut extract. Whisk mixture for about 10 seconds until frothy.
