A holiday breakfast that comes together quick and can feed a crowd. Full of warm spices and citrus flavour from orange zest, it’s a blood sugar balancing dish that’s naturally sweetened and pairs wonderfully with a drizzle of maple syrup and fresh seasonal fruit.
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 375℉ and lightly grease a square baking pan with butter. Add the sourdough bread to the pan along with the pecans and toss.
2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 3 tablespoons coconut sugar, orange zest, vanilla, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, allspice and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Pour over the bread mixture then toss to coat all the bread in the custard mixture.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, 2 tablespoons coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt. Drizzle over the French toast. Place in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
4
Serve with fresh fruit and maple syrup.
