- 4 slice bread (preferrably day old) (I used whole wheat flaxseed bread. Gluten free bread will work as well. As long as it is a sturdy bread). (I don't use pre sliced bread since I like a thicker slice so I slice the loaf myself)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup coconut milk (from a carton not a can. Can be replaced by other type of milk)
- 1 pinch fine grain sea salt
- 1/3 cup shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup almond meal (store bought or grind it yourself from raw almonds)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (for cooking)
Start by mixing eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt and milk in a mixing bowl. Whisk mixture until combined.
Mix shredded coconut and almond meal in a shallow bowl until combined. Place it next to the egg mixture next to the stove.
Slice bread into somewhat thicker slices. Put them on a plate and place this next to the egg mixture.
Heat up a medium size skillet with some coconut oil on medium/high.
Now first dip a slice of bread in the egg mixture and then roll it in the coconut mixture. Slide your slice of dipped bread into the hot skillet.
Flip your slice of french toast once it is golden brown on the bottom, usually after 1-2 minutes. Your toast is ready when the other is equally golden brown. Transfer to a plate and serve.
