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. Sprinkle in some cinnamon and the remaining sugar for that sweet touch.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides but not completely soaking the bread. We want it to be just right!
- 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 Dave’s Killer Bread, which is packed with nutrients!
- Let the bread sit in the egg mixture for a few seconds to absorb more flavor without getting too soggy.
- Don’t rush the cooking process; a medium heat allows for even cooking and prevents burning.
How to Serve
Now that your Dave’s Killer Bread 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 and a sprinkle of granola for a healthy twist.
- Try peanut butter and banana slices for a protein-packed option.
- For a fun family breakfast, set up a toppings bar with various fruits, nuts, and syrups!
Make Ahead and Storage
If you’re planning a busy week ahead, you can make this French toast in advance! Here’s how:
- Prepare the egg mixture and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Cook the French toast and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the toaster or microwave.
- For longer storage, freeze the cooked French toast slices. Just pop them in the toaster when you’re ready to enjoy!
