Instructions
Chill your coconut cream in the fridge overnight (make sure not to shake it so the cream and the liquid keeps separate).
Mash the banana with a fork in a shallow bowl and add the almond milk together with the cinnamon and the vanilla extract.
Then dip each slice of bread into the banana almond milk mixture for about 10 to 15 seconds. In a large pan, heat some coconut oil over medium heat and cook each side until golden. For me, this took about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Make the coconut cream: Place the hardened cream in a mixing bowl. Beat for 30 seconds with a mixer or until creamy. If you like you can add some agave or a sweetener of your choice.
Serve the vegan French toast with the coconut cream and the berries.
Notes
I used white crusty bread for my vegan French toast. I recommend using sourdough bread or ciabatta bread. You could also use French bread, but then your slices will be much smaller. The recipe will also work with whole wheat bread, but the texture will be different.
I wouldn't recommend using actual toast or toast-like bread for this recipe.
It's best to use day-old bread. It will soak up more of the batter without falling apart. Older bread is also fine, but I wouldn't recommend using freshly bought bread.
My favorite oil for this recipe is by far was coconut oil. It works best in getting the vegan French toast nicely browned. And it also adds some great coconut flavor, which blends perfectly with the rest.
