French Toast
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.
Notes
The secret ingredient? Toasted sesame oil. Its strong aroma means it only takes a small amount to add big flavor. Serve kebab over cilantro lime rice for a complete meal.
