Maple, Brown Sugar & Cinnamon French Toast

If you love the classic combination of maple and brown sugar as much as I do, then why not enjoy it in French Toast form. Every bite of this delightfully rich French Toast is packed with the perfectly married flavors of brown sugar, cinnamon and maple syrup with a smooth undertone of vanilla and light custard-like texture. My kids gobbled down every last morsel, and I have no shame in admitting that I did too. :)
