French Toast With Fruit Salsa

I guess I'm still in a breakfast mood so I felt inspired to share another breakfast recipe.  I just can't help myself, breakfast food is oh so yummy!


French Toast

Ingredients:
6 slices bread of choice (the firmer the better)
1 c. non-dairy milk of choice
2 tsp. cinnamon (separated)
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 Tbsp. coconut sugar
grape seed oil

Directions:
1.  Preheat griddle over medium high heat.
2.  In a shallow bowl mix milk, 1 tsp. cinnamon and vanilla.  Whisk well to get the cinnamon incorporated.
3.  In another small bowl combine sugar and other 1 tsp. of cinnamon.  Whisk to combine.
4.  Brush griddle with grape seed oil.
5.  Dip bread into milk mixture, both sides should be wet.  Don't allow it to sit in the mixture or bread will be soggy.
6.  Dip each side into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
7.  Place on griddle, continue until all bread has been used.  Allow to heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden.
8.  Remove from heat and serve.

*Serve with fruit salsa, pure maple syrup, coconut sugar, chopped nuts, whatever you're in the mood for.

Fruit Salsa

Ingredients:
1 c. organic strawberries (frozen or fresh)
1 large orange (peeled)
1/2 c. pineapple
2 Tbsp. pure orange juice

Directions:
1.  Place all ingredients into food processor and pulse, allowing fruit to remain chunky.
2.  If you want more of a puree then process longer.

Tip = you can use fruit salsa on french toast, waffles, pancakes, mixed into non-dairy cream cheese, on cinnamon/sugar tortilla chips, in crepes, mixed in quinoa, oatmeal, the possibilities are endless.
