Ingredients

  • 1 Against the Grain sesame baguette
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 6 medium pasture-raised, organic eggs
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg optional
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 c. + 2 T. maple sugar
  • 1/4 cup grass-fed butter
  • 2 T. coconut sugar topping
  • 1.5 tsp. ground cinnamon topping

Instructions

  • If you are serving this for breakfast, prep the French toast the night before. If you are serving this for dinner, you can prep the French toast in the morning.
  • Slice the baguette into about 1/4" thick slices. Lightly butter or coconut oil an 8x8" glass baking pan. Lay the baguette slices in the pan. You should have two layers of the baguette slices.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove it from the heat and stir in the maple sugar. Spread the butter and sugar mixture over the baguette slices.
  • In a small mug, combine the topping ingredients. Sprinkle it evenly over the French toast.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and coconut milk. Beat until everything is combined. You can use a fork or hand beaters. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the baguette slices.
  • Cover the glass baking dish and put the French toast in the fridge. Let it set for 8-16 hours.
  • When you are ready to bake the French toast, preheat the oven to 375°F. Get the French toast out of the fridge to come to room temperature while the oven preheats.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes. The center should not jiggle when you move the pan. Remove from the oven and let it set for 5 minutes. Cut, serve, and enjoy!
