Non-Dairy Coconut Milk French Toast

 
French Toast
 

Who doesn’t love french toast?! I’m sad to say I haven’t been eating too much of it lately because I rarely buy regular milk anymore so I decided to come up with this non-dairy version utilizing things I actually do have on hand like coconut milk! Now before you non-coconut liking people get turned off, we’re using lite coconut milk in this recipe so the coconut flavor is very subtle, and is masked by the vanilla and cinnamon.

Tips: I suggest using a thick yet soft kind of bread that will hold up after being dipped like challah, brioche, or french bread.


Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 8-10 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Servings: 1-2


Ingredients:

  • 4-6 slices of bread of choice 

  • 1 C. canned lite coconut milk

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

  • 3 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tsp vanilla


Directions:

  1. In a large saute pan melt coconut oil on medium heat.

  2. In a shallow flat bowl mix coconut milk, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, and brown sugar until well combined and slightly frothy.

  3. Dip each piece of bread individually one at a time into egg mixture for only a few seconds making sure each side is evenly coated and gently shake off excess.

  4. Place in saute pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and edges are slightly crispy.

  5. Serve warm with toppings of choice!
