Indulgent French Toast

September 18, 2014 By Aubrie Cornelius

Today’s post is all about breakfast, French toast to be exact, and this one’s a keeper.  It’s made just the way you’ve probably always made French toast, except for a few changes that make THIS recipe extra special.

IMG_9887 To start off, I used a fresh loaf of French bread with a really good crust.  The heavier bread really lets you load up on the yummy stuff later on without it getting soggy/falling apart.  Then, there is the cinnamon and egg mixture with Almond Milk as a base instead of regular and, of course, the toppings.  Oh man, the toppings for this are simply sinful.  Between the maple syrup, fresh blueberries, coconut whipped cream (!), and powdered sugar, it was hard to stop at just one plateful (whoops!).

If I’m being 100% honest here, we totally had this for dinner and then breakfast the next day.  It was THAT good! Oh! And if this is your first time working with coconut cream, you are in for a serious treat! It has all the creaminess of heavy cream with less than half of the sugar! So tell me, what are some of YOUR favorite French toast toppings? Any I should know about?
