Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 ¼ cup coconut milk (the kind in a carton)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • Unsalted butter, for skillet
  • 6 slices whole wheat bread

Banana Pecan Caramel Sauce

  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp water
  • 1 medium banana, sliced
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Whisk eggs in a large shallow bowl. Add coconut milk, vanilla, and shredded coconut and whisk together to combine.
  • Melt some butter in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.
  • Dredge each slice of bread into the coconut mixture, making sure the bread is fully coated on both sides. Let excess drip off.
  • Place bread on hot skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the bottom of each slice of bread turns golden brown. Flip bread and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve french toast with banana pecan caramel sauce drizzled over the top.

Banana Pecan Caramel Sauce

  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and 3 Tbsp water, turn the heat to medium-high, and stir. Let the mixture simmer for about 2 minutes to thicken.
  • Remove saucepan from heat and mix in sliced bananas and pecans.

Notes

  • If you don't have coconut milk, you can substitute with any dairy or dairy alternative. You may want to add more shredded coconut to boost the coconut flavor.
  • Feel free to make this french toast with any kind of bread if you don't want to use whole wheat.
