Whole Grain French Toast

Ingredients

• 1 whole Lemon
• 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
• 1 tbsp Flaxseed Meal
• ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
• ½ tsp Ground Ginger
• ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
• ¾ cup Chickpea Flour
• 8 whole Whole Grain Bread
• 3 tbsp Maple Syrup
• ¼ cup Pepitas

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 200°F and place a baking sheet inside to keep warm.
2. Zest and juice the lemon into a shallow bowl. Add the almond milk, flaxseed meal, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.
3. Whisk in the chickpea flour until fully incorporated and slightly thickened. The batter should be thinner than pancake batter.
4. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Dip a slice of bread into the batter for 5 seconds per side, letting excess drip off.
5. Cook dipped slices in the skillet for 3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until light golden brown and set. Transfer finished slices to the baking sheet in the oven to keep warm while you cook remaining slices.
6. Serve the French toast drizzled with maple syrup, topped with toasted pepitas, and sprinkled with extra cinnamon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
