Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

10-12 slices of stale (hearty, rustic bread, cut about 3/4-inch thick*)
4 large eggs
2/3 cup canned lite coconut milk or full-fat coconut milk
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup (can substitute granulated sugar)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Vegan butter
Toasted coconut
Sliced bananas
Pure maple syrup

Steps:

  • Heat a large non-stick griddle to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or set a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. If necessary, melt a little coconut oil on the griddle or in the pan to help prevent sticking.
  • Add the eggs to a large bowl and beat well with a whisk. Add the coconut milk, syrup, vanilla, and salt. Mix well.
  • One by one, dip the bread into the egg and coconut milk mixture, using a fork to help dunk the bread and move it around. Immerse for about 1 second on each side then transfer immediately to the preheated cooking surface.
  • Cook on the first side until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.
  • Transfer to a platter. You can cover the cooked French toast with a clean dishtowel to help keep it warm.
  • Serve with assorted toppings.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: Stale bread is best for French toast casserole because it absorbs more of the custard and doesn't get soggy. If you don't have stale bread, you can toast fresh bread in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes before using it.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the French toast casserole tough. Just whisk the ingredients together until they are combined.
  • Let the casserole soak: Allow the casserole to soak in the custard for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will give the bread time to absorb the liquid and become flavorful.
  • Bake the casserole until golden brown: The casserole is done baking when it is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the casserole warm: Serve the casserole warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Coconut almond French toast casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With its creamy custard, crunchy topping, and tropical flavors, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
