Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-cut bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
- 1 cup Macadamia nuts (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup (for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Spread the shredded coconut and chopped macadamia nuts onto a large plate. Mix them together evenly.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the surface.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are evenly coated but not overly soaked.
Gently press the dipped bread into the coconut and macadamia nut mixture, coating one or both sides as desired.
Place the coated bread slice onto the preheated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all the French toast is cooked, plate and drizzle with maple syrup. Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar for garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy your tropical-inspired Coconut Macadamia Nut French Toast!
