Apple French Toast

by Arielle J on October 12, 2015

This past weekend, I went apple picking, so naturally, I had tons of apples and a good excuse to get creative in the kitchen!

Instead of making french toast out my brown rice cakes (my go-to weekend breakfast here), I decided to switch it up a bit and make some Apple French Toast made of apples. And…it worked!

Not only did it work, it tasted delicious, was so easy to make and after posting on my instagram, five other Be Well fans made it that day!

Make this gluten-free, paleo-inspired, sugar-free and dairy-free breakfast on a weekday or weekend.

Apple French Toast
Ingredients:
2 apples, sliced (approx 10 slices)*
2 pasture-raised eggs, whisked
1 Tbsp almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp coconut oil
dash sea salt
dash cinnamon
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1 Tbsp almond butter (optional)

Directions:
1. In a bowl, whisk eggs with almond milk and vanilla extract until slightly frothy.
2. Heat up a large skillet on medium heat with coconut oil
3. Dip the apple slices in the batter. Let sit for 3 minutes. Take each one out of the bowl slowly, letting any excess egg drop off and carefully place each slice onto the heated pan.
4. Let slices cook for approximately 3.5 minutes on each side. (Taking them off too soon will make the egg stick to the pan). Be careful of burning them. Flip and cook the other side until crispy.
5. Sprinkle cinnamon, sea salt and maple syrup on top. If you want some protein, in a bowl, mix 1 tbsp almond butter with 2 tbsp maple syrup for a maple-almond butter topping.
Enjoy!

*Doesn’t matter what type of apples you use. I mixed it up and it looked pretty and tasted delish.
