Ingredients:
| 2 whole eggs | ¼ cup lite coconut milk | ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut |
| 2 slices of gluten-free bread | ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon + more for sprinkling | pinch stevia |
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F
- In a bowl, whisk together your eggs, milk, cinnamon and stevia.
- One slice at a time, dip a piece of gluten-free bread into the egg mixture – making sure to fully coat each side. Note: if you like soggier French toast, place both pieces in at a time, and let them sit in there for a few minutes before flipping.
- Once done, place on a baking sheet and top both slices with the shredded coconut and sprinkle with extra cinnamon.
- Bake in the oven for roughly 10 minutes, or until the egg has fully baked and you get a light brown colour on the toast. Serve hot!
