Ready to upgrade your morning breakfast game? If you love traditional French toast but want something quicker, thicker, and packed with protein, this Crumpet French Toast is about to become your new obsession.
Taking just minutes to make, these crumpets turn out perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining incredibly fluffy and soft on the inside. Plus, with a generous drizzle of our Melora Manuka Honey, it’s a healthy, guilt-free treat that feels delightfully indulgent.
Why You’ll Love This Crumpet Hack
Using crumpets instead of regular bread is a total game-changer for French toast:
-
The Perfect Sponge: The iconic holes in a crumpet soak up the egg and milk batter beautifully, ensuring a rich flavor in every bite.
-
Protein-Packed: The egg wash adds a great boost of morning protein to keep you energized.
-
Air Fryer Friendly: You can cook these in a pan or pop them in the air fryer for a hands-off, ultra-crispy finish!
-
Melora Manuka Honey: Instead of refined, sugary syrups, finishing your stack with our squeezy Manuka honey offers natural sweetness and everyday wellness support. (Tip: The Lemon infused honey pairs perfectly with fresh berries!)
Ingredients
Gather these simple ingredients for a breakfast that takes less than 10 minutes from prep to plate:
-
6 standard Crumpets
-
2 large Eggs
-
1/4 cup Milk of your choice (dairy or plant-based)
-
1 tbsp Melted butter
-
A generous sprinkle of Cinnamon
-
A little extra butter or oil for cooking
-
The Star Topping: Melora Multifloral Manuka Honey with Lemon Squeezy
-
Garnish: Nut butter (like peanut or almond), fresh berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries), and a dusting of desiccated coconut.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Whisk the Batter: In a shallow, wide bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and cinnamon until well combined and smooth.
-
Soak the Crumpets: Place your crumpets into the mixture. Dip them multiple times, pressing down gently, ensuring those little crumpet holes soak up as much liquid as possible.
-
Cook to Perfection: * Pan-Fry Method: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a little butter. Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
-
Air Fryer Method (Highly Recommended!): Place the soaked crumpets in your air fryer basket and cook at 190°C for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through for an even crunch.
-
-
Build Your Stack: Transfer the warm crumpets to a plate. Spread a dollop of your favorite peanut butter on top of each.
-
Serve and Drizzle: Add your fresh berries and a sprinkle of coconut. Finally, finish with a generous, mess-free squeeze of Melora Manuka Honey for that perfect golden touch.
Enjoy your crispy, fluffy, protein-packed breakfast! ✨
