Notes
- I like this recipe by far the best with our Homemade Coconut Syrup. It's every bit as good as the original stuff you can bring home from vacation. Here’s all you need to top your Hawaiian French Toast:
- Melt all the ingredients together and whisk over low heat until they’re all combined and smooth. It’s delicious on waffles, toast, homemade rolls, just about anything!

- Coconut Greek Yogurt - you could use regular coconut yogurt too, but the Greek variety gives it more bulk and flavor.
