Gluten-Free, Chocolate, Almond French Toast
Servings: 4–5
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
French Toast:
- 3/4 cup milk of choice*
- 1–2 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- pinch Himalayan Pink Salt
- 2–3 tablespoons Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil
- 8 slices gluten-free bread
Chocolate Sauce:
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil
- 2 drops almond extract
Directions:
Combine milk, eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon, sugar, and salt together in a bowl and whisk very well until emulsified. Pour onto a deep plate and dip bread in the mixture to gently coat both sides. Fry in a skillet with a little bit of coconut oil on medium high, flipping once the bread has turned golden brown. Continue to coat the pan with oil before each new batch of toast. Keep finished French toast warm in an oven on low while you finish cooking the rest.
In a small heatproof bowl in the oven, warm chocolate chips and coconut oil until just melted. Mix together and add 2 drops almond extract. Drizzle over French toast, and enjoy!
*For the freshest coconut milk make homemade coconut milk. (See video at this link.)
