Ingredients

• 4 slices whole-grain bread
• 0.75 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or non-stick cooking spray
• 0.5 cups fresh berries
• 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup until well combined.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil or spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 3

Dip a slice of whole-grain bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 5 seconds on each side. Make sure it is fully coated but not so soaked that it falls apart.

Step 4

Place the soaked bread slice onto the heated skillet. Repeat with additional slices, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 5

Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining bread slices.

Step 7

Serve the French toast warm, topped with fresh berries, a light sprinkle of powdered sugar (if desired), and an optional drizzle of additional honey or maple syrup.
