Chef's notes

These toutons excel in delivering a warm, comforting breakfast experience, perfect for anyone craving a taste of the Maritimes. While they are a delicious treat, those seeking a healthier breakfast might want to explore alternatives.

Chef tip

Serve with fresh fruit or a side of bacon for a balanced breakfast.

Substitutions

Maple syrup can be used instead of dark molasses for a sweeter twist.

Honest take

While Newfoundland toutons are easy to make, they are best enjoyed fresh and hot. Be prepared for a bit of grease, which some may find off-putting for a morning meal.
