Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-cut bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
- 1 cup Macadamia nuts (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup (for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Step 2
Spread the shredded coconut and chopped macadamia nuts onto a large plate. Mix them together evenly.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the surface.
Step 4
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are evenly coated but not overly soaked.
Step 5
Gently press the dipped bread into the coconut and macadamia nut mixture, coating one or both sides as desired.
Step 6
Place the coated bread slice onto the preheated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Step 7
Once all the French toast is cooked, plate and drizzle with maple syrup. Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar for garnish.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your tropical-inspired Coconut Macadamia Nut French Toast!
