Ingredients
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar (can sub coconut sugar for less sweet)
  • 2 tablespoons dairy-free buttery spread or coconut oil (add a pinch of salt if using oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 banana, thinly sliced
  • ¾ cup plain or unsweetened dairy-free milk beverage (can use vanilla!)
  • 1 egg (see post above for egg-free options)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 slices whole-grain bread (gluten-free, if needed)
  • ¼ cup dairy-free granola, for garnish (gluten-free, if needed)
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, stir together the orange juice, sugar, buttery spread or oil, and vanilla. Add the strawberries and banana and stir to coat. Place the pan over medium heat, bring to a simmer, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. The flavors should combine and a little fruity syrup should form.
  2. Preheat your grill or flat griddle to medium heat.
  3. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the milk beverage, egg, and cinnamon. Dip the bread slices into the mixture (about 20 to 30 seconds per side) and place them on the grill or griddle. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  4. Serve grilled French toast slices topped with the strawberry-banana sauce and granola. Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
