How to Make the Recipe
Now, let’s dive into the steps to create this delightful dish:
- Heat a griddle or a skillet over medium heat. Coat it with either coconut oil or butter for that perfect golden crust.
- While the griddle heats, crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add half of the coconut sugar and the almond milk, then whisk them together until well combined. Don’t forget to sprinkle in some cinnamon and the rest of the sugar for that sweet touch!
- Dip each slice of Dave’s Killer Bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides but not completely soaking the bread. We want it to be fluffy, not soggy!
- Place the coated bread onto the heated griddle and allow each side to cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the French toast to a plate and add your favorite toppings.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your French toast turns out perfectly every time:
- For a richer flavor, use whole eggs instead of egg whites.
- Experiment with different types of milk, like oat or soy, for a unique twist.
- If you want to make this a no flour breakfast idea, stick with the ingredients listed!
- For a fun twist, add vanilla extract or nutmeg to the egg mixture.
- Don’t rush the cooking process; let the bread get nice and golden for the best texture.
How to Serve
Now that your French toast is ready, it’s time to serve it up! Here are some delicious serving suggestions:
- Top with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup for a classic touch.
- Add a dollop of Greek yogurt for a protein boost.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
- Serve with a side of crispy bacon or sausage for a hearty breakfast.
- For a fun twist, try adding chocolate chips or peanut butter for the kids!
Make Ahead and Storage
If you want to prepare this dish ahead of time, you can make the egg mixture the night before and store it in the fridge. Just give it a good whisk before dipping the bread in the morning. Leftover French toast can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop it in the toaster or microwave until warmed through.
