Coconut French Toast

COCONUT FRENCH TOAST

This Coconut French Toast is incredibly nutritious and packed with omega-3s, fiber and protein, flax seed meal is amazing. Coconut is a natural ingredient to use in crusts, but to give this recipe even more crunch.

Crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, with faint hints of coconut, warm cinnamon swirled throughout, the sweet caramel notes of pure maple syrup and bursts of fresh berries, a plate of this vegan French toast will make everything in the world seem right.

Ingredients

• 1¼ cups coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon flax seed meal
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup quinoa crispies
• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 6 - 8 slices vegan or gluten-free bread
  
  Garnish
• Maple syrup 
• sliced strawberries 

Instructions

1. Whisk together the coconut milk, flax seed + cinnamon in a shallow dish or bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
   
   
2. Heat a non-stick grilled over medium-low heat and grease with coconut oil or vegan butter.
   
   
3. In a shallow dish or plate, combine the quinoa crispies and coconut. Mix together so they're evenly combined.
   
   
4. Taking one or two slices of bread a time, place them in the dish with coconut milk mixture. Allow to soak for 30 - 60 seconds, flip and soak the other side for another 30 seconds. Remove the slices from the batter then coat both sides with the quinoa-coconut mixture. Place on the griddle and cook for 2 - 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining slices of bread.
   
   
5. Serve warm with sliced berries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
