What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • shredded coconut
  • 4 large slices of thick, whole wheat crusty bread

  • maple syrup
Directions
  1. Whisk coconut milk, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon in a deep dish.
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet and sprinkle coconut on the bottom of the pan. Cook until light brown. You should watch the coconut carefully and occasionally stir to prevent burning.

  4. Repeat with remaining butter, bread slices, and batter.
  5. Serve with raspberries and maple syrup. Enjoy!
