Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 slices of whole grain bread
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Fresh fruits for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well and let it sit for at least 30 minutes or until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and formed a pudding-like consistency.
- Once the chia pudding is ready, crack the eggs into a shallow bowl, add the cinnamon, and whisk until well combined.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to grease the pan.
- Take a slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.
- Carefully place the soaked bread onto the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
- Once the French toast is cooked, serve it warm topped with the chia seed pudding and fresh fruits if desired. Drizzle with extra maple syrup for added sweetness.
