Ingredients
- 10-12 slices of your favourite sourdough bread
- 1 1/4 C. coconut milk or almond milk
- 1/4 C. apple juice
- 1/2 C. fresh-squeezed orange juice
- 4 T. ground flaxseed meal
- 2 T. orange zest
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla essence
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. Cardamom
Instructions
- To make the custard, whisk together all the ingredients, (except the bread, of course), in a shallow pan until well combined.
- Heat a skillet or a frying pan over medium heat, and add a small amount of coconut oil to the pan.
- In batches, submerge the slices of bread completely in the custard, then transfer to the prepared pan.
- Cook French toast for 3-5 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown, then flip over and cook until the other side is golden brown, and the bread bounces back a little when you poke it with your finger.
- Serve hot with your favourite topping. We like pure maple syrup, marmalade, or fresh berries and a dusting of icing sugar.
