Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 slices vegan bread (sourdough or whole grain)
- 1 mango, sliced
- 1 kiwi, sliced
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Slice the vegan bread into thick pieces (about 1 inch).
- Dip each slice into the coconut milk mixture for about 30 seconds on each side until fully saturated but not soggy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or vegan butter.
- Fry each soaked slice for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Serve warm, topped with fresh sliced mangoes and kiwis, drizzled with extra maple syrup.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for better absorption of the coconut milk mixture.
- A non-stick skillet works wonders to prevent sticking and burning.
- Remember to flip gently to keep your French toast intact.
- Store any leftover French toast in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
- To reheat, pop it in a toaster or warm it on a skillet for that fresh-out-of-the-pan taste.
- Feel free to swap out the coconut milk for almond or oat milk if preferred.
- Top with maple syrup, fresh mint, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor.
