Ingredients

  • 1 13.5-ounce can unsweetened light coconut milk (or 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut-flavored almond milk)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • Dash ground cinnamon
  • 6-8 slices day-old bread
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together almond milk and eggs until creamy and yellow. Add grated ginger and a dash of cinnamon; mix thoroughly.

  2. Dip a slice of bread in the egg mixture, let it soak up the egg mixture, and then flip it over so that both sides of the bread are moist but not soggy. Let excess liquid drip off.

  3. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp. of the vegetable oil. Place soaked bread slices (two at a time) in the pan and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Add 1 tbsp. more oil to the pan and repeat with next two slices; then again with another tablespoon of butter until all six slices are cooked. (Use more slices if you have leftover liquid.)

  4. Spray pineapple slices with additional cooking spray and grill over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until light grill marks show on each side.

  5. Serve French toast alongside grilled pineapple slices. Serves 4.
