French toast is just magical. A beautiful way to use up leftover bread, a simple alternative to you’re bog standard toast, and one which you can jazz up as much or as little as you like with the seasonal produce on hand.
Apples are still plentiful and although I very much steer towards all things pumpkin this time of year, apples when laced with caramel always steel my heart.
Whether you fancy whipping up something a little different over the Christmas holidays or just looking for a delicious French toast to serve up on any given weekend… this is just the ticket! Made with Linwoods Milled Flax, Chia Seed, Apple and Cinnamon mix, the sourdough is soaked in almond milk, pan fried in coconut oil and topped with warm apples laced with coconut caramel sauce. Heaven on a plate!
If you don’t want to make your own caramel sauce I can HIGHLY recommend Nature’s Charm Coconut cream based salted caramel sauce…it’s positively heavenly!
Also, I say weekend merely because most people don’t have enough time to be whipping up French toast when they’re rushing out to work. If you do, lucky you and go for it, no need to reserve for any particular day, eat all the foods all the time, whatever you’re fancying, I’m not about that restrictive way of life.
