CINNAMON APRICOT FRENCH TOAST

yields 6 PIECES OF FRENCH TOAST

ingredients

• 2 cup sweetened vanilla nondairy milk
• 1/4 cup packed dried apricots
• 1/4 tsp grated orange zest optional
• 1 TBL ground flaxseed or chia seeds
• 1 1/2 tsp nutritional yeast
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• Spray oil
• 1/2 loaf day-old crusty bread, cut into six .5-inch-thick slices

instructions

1 Make the batter: Grab a small saucepan and dump in the milk and apricots. Let that simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes and then let it cool for another 5. 2 Pour the cooled milk/apricot mixture into a blender with the orange zest (if using) and ground flaxseeds. Blend until it looks mostly smooth. 3 Pour the batter from the blender into a pie pan or similar-size shallow dish and then slowly stir in the nutritional yeast and cinnamon. SLOWLY, GODDAMMIT. 4 Warm a griddle over medium heat and spray a little oil on it so these ers won’t stick. Soak your bread slices in the batter for a couple seconds on each side and then throw them right on the griddle. Cook until they look golden and tasty all over, 1 to 2 minutes a side. Serve with maple syrup, an extra dash of cinnamon, and some fresh fruit if you’re feeling Frenchy.
