Coconut Crusted French Toast

Author: The Happy Hungry Yogi

Gluten-free/Dairy-free/Nut-free/Soy-free

Serves: 2

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 5-7 minutes

INGREDIENTS

French Toast

• 4 slices of gluten-free bread (sub any kind of bread if not gluten sensitive)
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 c coconut milk
• 1 tbsp coconut flour
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• pinch of sea salt
• 1 1/2 c unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 tbsp coconut oil for cooking

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Slice bread diagonally so you end up with 8 slices and set aside.
2. In a shallow pan, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, vanilla, cinnamon and sea salt.
3. Gently place bread slices into the mixture, flipping once, to saturate both sides.
4. While bread soaks, heat a large frying pan with the coconut oil over medium heat.
5. Add the coconut to a separate bowl and carefully dip each bread piece to generously coat both sides. Place the bread onto the frying pan (some pieces may flake off that’s okay).
6. Allow each piece to cook about 3 minutes per side. Remove when both sides are golden brown and crisp.
7. Serve slices warm and topped with maple syrup, nut butter or jam.
