In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until frothy.
2 large eggs , ⅓ cup vanilla unsweetened almond milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Heat 1 teaspoon butter or vegan butter on a skillet on medium. Quickly dip one piece of bread in the egg mixture, turn it over to make sure it's fully coated, and then place it on the heated buttered skillet. Repeat with another piece of bread. Cook on the skillet until the side facing down is golden brown, about 2-4 minutes. Turn bread pieces over and allow to finish cooking until both sides are golden brown. Remove bread slices from the skillet and repeat with the remaining bread slices.
8 slices 100% whole-grain bread, 1 tablespoon salted butter, divided
Serve in age appropriate ways such as strips or in bite-sized pieces. For older babies (12months +) add a little bit of peanut or almond butter on top for extra healthy fat.

To meal prep/freeze:

When you remove french toast from the skillet, allow them to cool on a cooling rack. When fully cooled, french toast can be stored for 3-5 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
For best results, reheat in the microwave, then crisp again by pan-frying or placing french toast pieces in the toaster oven.
