Ingredients

How to Make Coconut French Toast
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C) to keep the cooked toast warm.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, vanilla, and salt. In another shallow dish, add the shredded coconut.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are covered.
- Transfer to the shredded coconut and press lightly so it sticks.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add coconut oil.
- Place the coated bread in the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
- Serve two slices per person and top with butter, maple syrup, banana slices, orange slices, and fresh berries.
Tips for the Best Crusted French Toast
- Use stale bread: Fresh bread can get too soggy.
- Press the coconut firmly: Helps create an even, crispy crust.
- Cook on medium heat: Prevents burning while keeping the inside soft.
- Don’t skip the oven step: Keeps the toast warm and crispy.
- Try different toppings: Serve your coconut french toast with coconut whipped cream, nut butter, a chocolate drizzle, pineapple slices, raspberries, strawberries, or powdered sugar.
Storing & Reheating Instructions
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Freeze slices in a single layer; reheat in the toaster or oven at 350°F.
- Reheat: Warm in a skillet or oven for the best texture.
This Coconut French Toast is an easy, crispy, and delicious way to start your day.
