Ingredients
  

French Toast

  • 6 slices of sturdy bread
  • 1 cup full fat coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoon chickpea flour
  • 1-2 tablespoon water
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • tablespoon coconut oil or vegan butter for cooking

Crème Anglaise

  • ½ cup coconut cream only the creamy top part of a chilled can of full fat coconut milk
  • tablespoon coconut sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Raspberry Chia Jam

  • cups raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preparing chia jam. In a saucepan over medium heat, add raspberries and agave. Wait 4-6 minutes, until berries are softened and begin to dissolve. Add chia seeds and water and simmer for 2-3 more minutes, until the berry mixture reaches a jam-like consistency. Set aside.
  • Prepare coconut crème anglaise by combining coconut cream and coconut sugar in a small saucepan over low heat. Constantly whisk the mixture to prevent separation. Once the mixture thickens, around 4 minutes add the vanilla and continue to stir for about 1 more minute.
  • Remove from heat. Transfer to another container to let cool and reserve for serving.
  • Begin to prepare the french toast batter by whisking coconut milk, chickpea flour, water, vanilla, and cinnamon together until smooth. Start off with 1 tablespoon water, and add another tablespoon of water if the batter seems too thick. Put the batter in a shallow dish for dipping.
  • Heat a griddle or skillet to medium-high heat and grease with coconut oil. Dip each slice of bread in batter for 30 seconds on each side. Grill each slice in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side. I like to work with 2-3 slices at a time.
  • Serve french toast with raspberry chia jam, drizzle with crème anglaise, and plenty of maple syrup, if desired.
