Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices of sturdy bread (sourdough, whole grain, or brioche-style vegan bread)
  • 1 ½ cups full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegan butter for cooking
  • Optional Toppings
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Sliced bananas
  • Additional maple syrup
  • Chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds)
  • Vegan chocolate chips or coconut flakes

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, ground flaxseed, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  • Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil or vegan butter.
  • Dip each slice of bread into the coconut milk mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated and slightly soaked but not overly soggy.
  • Place coated bread slices onto the preheated skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crisp.
  • Repeat with remaining slices, adding more oil or butter as needed.
  • Serve immediately with desired toppings.
