Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons butter or cooking oil
- optional maple syrup (for serving)
- optional fresh fruit (e.g., mango, pineapple, or berries)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
Pour the shredded coconut onto a large, shallow plate or dish.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil to coat the surface.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are soaked evenly but not overly saturated.
Gently press each soaked slice of bread into the shredded coconut, coating both sides with an even layer.
Place the coated bread slices onto the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked Coconut French Toast to a plate and repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
