Ingredients

1 16 ounce loaf of bread, cut into 1" thick sticks
4 eggs
3/4 cup almond milk or coconut milk or a combination
2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch salt
Butter / ghee / coconut oil for pan
Powdered sugar for serving (optional)
Maple Syrup for serving

Instructions

For Stovetop:

Cut bread into sticks , set aside.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon ghee (or other high-heat cooking oil_ to the pan.
Place bread pieces into the egg mixture covering each side of the bread, then into the hot pan. Repeat, placing more bread into the pan, but leaving about 1” in-between pieces. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Remove and repeat the process, adding more ghee to the pan until all of the french toast is cooked.
Either serve immediately with powdered sugar and maple syrup, or cool completely and store in the freezer.

For Oven:

Preheat oven to 375ºF and liberally grease a large rimmed baking sheet with ghee (about 3 tablespoons).
Cut bread into sticks, set aside.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.
Submerge bread pieces into the egg mixture, and then knock off an excess coating. Place the bread onto the sheet pan. Repeat, placing more bread into the pan, but leaving about 1” in-between pieces.
Bake for 8 minutes on the lower rack, then flip the bread and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Either serve immediately with powdered sugar and maple syrup, or cool completely and store in the freezer.

Notes

To freeze for later: let them cool to room temperature and then stick in a freezer bag for whenever you or the kids need a quick breakfast! They can be heated up in the toaster until warmed through! Or, you can heat them up in the microwave in short bursts, until warmed through.

If you are using bread for this that is very soft and delicate, like brioche bread or traditional white bread, you might want to toast or let the bread dry out first! If the bread is very soft and stays too long in the egg batter, it can start to break apart.
