coconut french toast with coconut syrup

So this morning I was craving something coconut-y, and found a recipe for french toast with coconut syrup. Not the healthiest of breakfasts, but it was worth it. The recipe was from Cooking a la Mode (click link for original recipe), but I changed a few things based on what I had and to make it seem a little healthier in my mind.

Here's my revised version:

• 4 eggs
• 1 cup almond milk
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 T coconut flour
• Ezekiel bread

Combine ingredients, then dip both sides of the bread in mixture and place on a hot greased pan or skillet. Flip over when browned. 

Serve with hot coconut syrup:

• 1/2 cup butter
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp coconut extract

Place butter, buttermilk, and sugar in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil for one minute.

Remove from heat, and add baking soda and extract, stirring constantly. It will bubble up so make sure you pan is large enough. Continue to stir syrup and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. 

Bon appetite!
