For one serving, you'll need two slices of bread. I used French bread from a local French bakery, but you can also use Brioche bread, Challah bread, or any thick-cut toast bread. Additionally, whole grain bread is a fantastic healthy option. The key is choosing a piece of bread to soak up the egg mixture and cook evenly. Opt for thick-cut bread slices, about ¾ to 1 inch thick.
Dip the bread slices into the egg wash mixture in a shallow dish, but don't soak them too long. A quick dip on each side is enough to coat the bread without making it overly soggy.
One tablespoon coconut oil, one egg, 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder, 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey), ½ cup regular milk, and ½ tsp vanilla extract.
If you're avoiding dairy, an easy switch would be to use almond milk, light coconut milk, or any other dairy-free milk alternative in this recipe.
To distribute the ingredients evenly, make sure to whisk the egg mixture in a large bowl.
Cook the French toast over medium-low heat to medium heat to ensure it cooks evenly without burning on the outside.
Coat the skillet or griddle with coconut oil to prevent the French toast from sticking and enhance its flavor.
Use a spatula to flip the French toast carefully to avoid breaking it. Cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
If you're making several batches, keep the cooked French toast warm by placing it in a preheated oven set to a low temperature. My oven has a "warm" option specifically for this purpose, which works perfectly.
French toast is best served hot. Serve it with your favorite toppings like pure maple syrup, fresh berries, powdered sugar, or whipped cream. Add some peanut butter on top or sprinkle with coconut flakes.
A quick tip: Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking French toast. Cook a few slices at a time to ensure they cook evenly and get that golden-brown crust on each side.
