speculoosity

i don’t really do sweet breakfast.

i eat my pancakes and french toast with butter and salt. i like bagels and matzo and the sweetest cereal i’ll eat is life.

but when i found this at trader joes…

WHAT IS IT???

“a deliciously unusual spread reminiscent of gingerbread and made with crushed biscuits” says the label. but really, what more do you need to read beyond cookie butter?

and take my word for it—it’s just as yummy as you would imagine. like if gingerbread cookies and peanut butter had a baby, this is what it would be. a yummy, yummy baby. dip a pretzel in—delightful. apple slices? divine.

but the evil wheels in my brain started turning…and when they stopped we were left with this:

the french toast cooked just right.

the speculoos mixed with butter and then smeared on top.

sliced bananas over the whole thing.

  2. Speculaas, as we call it, is dutch. We make cookies with speculaas spices around the 5 th of december. It's the original santaclaus holiday called sinterklaas. It's a holyman your american santaclaus is based on. Probably happend somewhere during the dutch colonisation of new york I guess. We love speculaas cookies and also eat them between a sandwich, Enjoy!
