- Slice the banana into thick pieces and add them to the skillet, pan frying them on both sides until golden brown. Set aside.
- In a bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth. Heat the skillet on medium heat and add 1/2 tbsp of coconut oil. Dip your 6 slices of bread into the batter for 15 seconds covering both sides and add them to the pan once the oil starts to shimmer. Cook them on both sides until golden brown.
- Serve the French Toast warm with caramelized bananas, berry jam, and a light drizzle of maple syrup!
Berry Compote
- Heat a saucepan on medium heat. Add your frozen berries and cook until they begin to thaw. Take a fork or masher and mash the berries in the saucepan until it is mostly smooth, with just a few chunks for texture.
- After 3-4 minutes, add the cornstarch and lemon juice and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and continue stirring until it begins to thicken. Add in the maple syrup and adjust the amount for more or less sweetening. Once the mixture has thickened slightly, turn off the heat and set aside.
