Recipe type: Breakfast/Brunch
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • For French Toast:
  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup soy milk
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4-6 slices of thick bread (I used an organic wheat loaf but you can use brioche or sourdough)
  • Cooking spray, preferably canola oil
  • For Maple Caramel Sauce:
  • 1-1/2 cups coconut milk fat
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch Kosher salt
  • ¼ cup Maple syrup
  • Optional:
  • Sliced apples
  • Chopped walnuts
Instructions
  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy milk, cinnamon and salt. Place the slices of bread in a single layer in a shallow casserole dish, and pour the egg mixture evenly over the slices. Let the slices soak for 10 minutes, flipping half-way through.
  2. Lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray over medium heat. Cook the toast until golden brown, flipping half-way through, until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. In a small saucepan, bring coconut milk fat and brown sugar to a boil over medium-high.
  4. Cook, stirring, until the fat melts and mixture is smooth.
  5. Reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla and salt and maple syrup. Let simmer for another 5 minutes.
  6. Pour the sauce over the French toast.
  7. Garnish with apple slices and nuts, if you desire. I garnished with apple slices which was really yummy. Then, when I was almost done, I thought the only thing that could make this dish better would be to add chopped walnuts on top. I will definitely add those next time!
