Ingredients

• 1 loaf Challah bread
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 3 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or dairy-free butter
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional)
• 1 cup Fresh berries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the challah bread into 1-inch thick slices and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, salt, and maple syrup until well combined.

Step 3

Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or dairy-free butter to the pan.

Step 4

Dip each slice of challah bread into the almond milk mixture, making sure each side is well coated but not soaked through to prevent sogginess.

Step 5

Place a few slices of the soaked bread onto the hot skillet, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Add more coconut oil or dairy-free butter to the pan as needed for subsequent batches.

Step 6

Remove the French toast slices from the skillet and keep warm by placing them in an oven set at 200°F, if desired, while cooking the remaining slices.

Step 7

Serve the Dairy-Free Challah French Toast topped with a dusting of powdered sugar and fresh berries, if desired.
