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
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.
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.
In a small saucepan, bring coconut milk fat and brown sugar to a boil over medium-high.
Cook, stirring, until the fat melts and mixture is smooth.
Reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla and salt and maple syrup. Let simmer for another 5 minutes.
Pour the sauce over the French toast.
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!
