Equipment

  • Large Nonstick Skillet

Ingredients

Instructions

  •  In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon until frothy. 
  • 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. 
  • Top with more butter, fresh fruit, maple syrup, or any other toppings you want!

Notes

To meal prep/freeze: 
  1.  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.  
  2. For best results, reheat in the microwave, then crisp again by pan-frying or placing french toast pieces in the toaster oven. 
Note: nutrition facts will vary depending on the bread used.  I calculated these using the large 100% Whole Wheat Dave's Killer Bread slices.
