Ingredients
For the French Toast
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk Ensure it's full-fat for best flavor.
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup thick slices of bread (brioche recommended) Any sturdy bread can be used.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract Optional for added flavor.
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon Optional for added flavor.
- 1 tbsp coconut oil For greasing the pan.
For the Mango Syrup
- 1 medium mango Diced.
- 1 tbsp brown sugar To sweeten the mango.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, crack the eggs and pour in the coconut milk.
- Add the vanilla extract and cinnamon, then whisk until smooth, even if there are some coconut chunks.
- Dip the slices of bread into the mixture until both sides are soaked but not overly soggy.
Cooking
- Heat a greased pan over medium heat and cook the soaked bread slices until golden and crispy on both sides.
- While the last slice is cooking, place the diced mango into a small pot with brown sugar over medium heat.
- Stir the mango for about 3 minutes until it turns syrupy.
- Stack the cooked french toast on a plate and drizzle the mango syrup over the top before serving.
Notes
For extra tropical flair, serve with fresh pineapple or kiwi, toasted coconut flakes, and good coffee. Store leftovers with wax paper in between slices to avoid sogginess, and reheat in a toaster oven.
