This week's new recipe is this delicious coconut French toast with fresh strawberries and pure maple syrup.
I also made this recipe LIVE on Instagram over the weekend and have added the video below if you wanted to follow along. I usually stream a LIVE recipe each week so be sure to look out for those over on my channel @gatherandfeast. I'd LOVE to have you join me + cook along!
Feel free to top the French toast with any fruit you have on hand. Bananas, berries or poached stone fruit would also taste delicious. I've used coconut milk but feel free to use any milk you have. I've also used coconut oil for frying but feel free to use butter.
This recipe serves 2-4 depending on how hungry you are, but feel free to double the quantities if needed.
I hope you enjoy the recipe! And please let me know if you have any questions.
