Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1 large Ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 6 pieces Stale bread (thick slices, vegan-friendly)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (or non-dairy butter)
- 2 teaspoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 1 cup Fresh fruit (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine the coconut milk, ripe banana, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the blended mixture into a shallow dish or bowl wide enough to fit a slice of bread.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil or non-dairy butter.
Dip each slice of bread into the banana-coconut milk mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let the bread soak for a few seconds for better absorption.
Place the coated bread slices into the preheated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Cook in batches if necessary.
As each piece of French toast is finished, transfer it to a plate and cover it loosely with foil to keep warm.
Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices.
Serve the French toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar if desired, and topped with fresh fruit such as berries, bananas, or sliced apples. Drizzle with additional maple syrup for added sweetness.
