Frickin' Awesome French Toast

I love French Toast, I really do. However it is full of sugar, carbohydrates and little else, not so Chic. Here is a recipe that you won't feel a morsel of guilt about making and devouring. This is perfect for lazy weekends or gatherings where you really want to impress your guests. I adapted this recipe from "Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook".

Coconut Banana French Toast

Makes 6 Servings

1 banana

1/2 cup of light coconut milk

1 cup of milk (I prefer almond milk)

2 Tbsp evaporated cane sugar

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

6 slices of crusty bread (like the bread you just made in the previous post!)

2 Tbsp butter (I prefer Earth Balance Vegan Butter)

In a blender or food processor, add the banana, coconut milk, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, then pour into a shallow dish.

Heat butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Dip both sides of the bread into the mixture and place onto a skillet or griddle and cook in batches until golden brown.

Serve with fresh banana slices and maple syrup (don't use that imitation maple flavored high fructose syrup, yuck!).

Throw on your cheekiest apron and try it. You will love it, I promise.
