"A buttered slice of toast is the ultimate basic breakfast. While we often think of it as something best eaten when we're feeling under the weather or when turning on the stove isn't an option, with some careful planning and a little more time, you can easily turn your breakfast slice of toast into a tasty conduit for culinary creativity."
"Maple sugar is made with one ingredient - maple syrup - which has been boiled, dried, and broken down until it resembles crystals. It offers the same sweetness as table sugar (and because it's granulated, can be used in the same way). However, the one thing that it has over regular sugar is its oaky and complex undertones, which make it an excellent addition to a relatively bland piece of toast."
"If you're a fan of cinnamon toast - essentially just bread with cinnamon, sugar, and butter or margarine - consider swapping out the sugar for maple sugar for a bolder flavor that'll work wonders with the cinnamon. You could also add a sprinkle of maple sugar to the top of your French toast after plating it. That way, you'll get that familiar maple flavor you crave, along with a delectably crunchy texture."
Maple sugar is a granulated sweetener made by boiling and drying pure maple syrup until it forms crystals. It provides the same sweetness as table sugar while adding oaky, complex undertones and a crunchy texture. Sprinkling it on buttered toast, using it in place of sugar for cinnamon toast, or topping French toast adds bold maple flavor and crunch. Maple sugar pairs well with peanut butter, whipped cream and dark chocolate to balance its sweetness. Maple sugar can be made at home by reducing syrup to dryness or purchased ready-made from specialty brands for pantry use.
