Ingredients
10-12 slices of stale (hearty, rustic bread, cut about 3/4-inch thick*)
4 large eggs
2/3 cup canned lite coconut milk or full-fat coconut milk
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup (can substitute granulated sugar)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Steps
Heat a large non-stick griddle to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or set a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. If necessary, melt a little coconut oil on the griddle or in the pan to help prevent sticking.
Add the eggs to a large bowl and beat well with a whisk. Add the coconut milk, syrup, vanilla, and salt. Mix well.
One by one, dip the bread into the egg and coconut milk mixture, using a fork to help dunk the bread and move it around. Immerse for about 1 second on each side then transfer immediately to the preheated cooking surface.
Cook on the first side until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.
Transfer to a platter. You can cover the cooked French toast with a clean dishtowel to help keep it warm.
Serve with assorted toppings.

Ashley on 2020-12-25 (5 stars): My infant daughter has a milk allergy, so I’ve been looking for non-dairy recipes for her. This was delicious! I love how many eggs are in it and how little sugar - the flavor and texture were perfect. Thanks!
Allison on 2018-01-13 (5 stars): Great recipe! My husband and I haven't had French toast (or any toast) in over a year and a half because we've been on a strict autoimmune diet protocol. Well today we decided to try introducing a gluten free bread back into our diet so of course I had to make french toast. Anyway, we don't do dairy anymore and had to re-learn how to make French toast which is how I came across your recipe. The finished product brought a smile to both of our faces and we loved it. Thanks for your hard work!
