Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup coconut syrup
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: bread, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, blender, non-stick skillet, spatula, and coconut syrup.
- Tear bread slices into smaller pieces to fit easily in the blender.
- Add eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the blender. Blend the mixture on medium speed for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth and well combined.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour the blended mixture into a shallow dish for easy dipping.
- Dip each bread piece into the blended mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
- Place the coated bread pieces onto the preheated skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer cooked French toast to a serving plate, allowing excess moisture to drain.
- Drizzle warm coconut syrup generously over the French toast.
- Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnishing with additional cinnamon, fresh berries, or powdered sugar.
Tips
- Use Day-Old Bread: For the best texture, opt for slightly stale bread. Day-old bread absorbs the batter better, giving you a fluffier French toast.
- Blend for Perfection: Ensure your batter is blended thoroughly for a smooth consistency. This helps the flavors meld beautifully and makes for a uniform coating on the bread.
- Temperature Control: Keep an eye on the heat of your skillet. Cooking on medium heat allows the French toast to cook through without burning, ensuring a golden-brown finish.
- Add Extra Flavor: Feel free to customize your French toast by adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of almond extract to the batter for an extra flavor boost.
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate your presentation by garnishing with fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, or even a dollop of whipped cream for that extra indulgence.
- Make It Ahead: If you're hosting a brunch, you can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the fridge. Just dip and cook in the morning for a hassle-free breakfast!
