Banana stuffed French toast

Ingredients

• 4 slices of whole grain bread

• 1/2 medium banana, thinly sliced

• 2 tablespoons almond butter (or nut butter of choice)

• 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

• 2 large eggs

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil (or choice of choice)

• Maple syrup and fresh berries, for topping (optional)

Directions

Take your four slices of bread and create two almond butter and banana sandwiches. Each sandwich should have 1 tablespoon of almond butter and a few banana slices.

Whisk together almond milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and salt and pour in a container large enough to soak the sandwiches. One at a time, soak sandwiches on both sides until they are nice and moist — about 10 seconds on each side.

Pre-heat a non stick skillet on medium-high heat. Coat with coconut oil to prevent toast from sticking.

Place sandwich in pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on until the bottom side is golden brown. Flip sandwich, press on sandwich with your spatula and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and repeat the process with the second sandwich.

Cut each sandwich in half diagonally to make 4 servings. Serve with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
