Ingredients
- 10 to 12 ounces sliced bread (10-12 slices of stale, hearty, rustic bread, cut about 3/4-inch thick*)
- 4 large eggs
- 2/3 cup coconut milk (canned, lite, or full-fat coconut milk)
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup (pure, can substitute granulated sugar)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
How to Make
-
Step 1: Heat a large non-stick griddle to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or set a medium non-stick pan over medium heat.
-
Step 2: If necessary, melt a little coconut oil on the griddle or in the pan to help prevent sticking.
-
Step 3: Add the eggs to a large bowl and beat well with a whisk.
-
Step 4: Add the coconut milk, syrup, vanilla, and salt. Mix well.
-
Step 5: One by one, dip the bread into the egg and coconut milk mixture, using a fork to help dunk the bread and move it around.
-
Step 6: Immerse for about 1 second on each side then transfer immediately to the preheated cooking surface.
-
Step 7: Cook on the first side until golden brown, 1-2 minutes.
-
Step 8: Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.
-
Step 9: Transfer to a platter.
-
Step 10: You can cover the cooked French toast with a clean dishtowel to help keep it warm.
-
Step 11: Serve with assorted toppings.
-
Step 12: *If your bread is still fairly fresh, slice it and let it sit at room temperature for awhile to help it harden up a bit.
