Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Total: 25 mins | Quantity: 2 servings
Ingredients
1/2 cup (110ml) unsweetened almond milk
1 tblsp Sweet Freedom Vanilla Syrup + a little extra for drizzling
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tblsp gram flour (also known as chickpea flour)
1 tblsp chia seeds
4 thick slices of bread – stale bread gives a crispier crust!
drizzle of oil – I used olive oil
handful of quartered fresh strawberries – or sub for you favourite fruits/berries
Instructions
Put the almond milk, syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and gram flour into a shallow dish or bowl big enough to take the slices of bread and whisk until it's lump free
Whisk in the chia seeds and leave to stand for 5-10 minutes to thicken up slightly
Heat a large frying pan with a drizzle of oil over a medium heat
Take one of the slices of bread and dunk in the liquid, turning several times until it's well covered and has soaked up some of the liquid
Place into the frying pan and repeat with the other slices
Cook for a few minutes each side until crisp and golden
Serve immediately topped with a few strawberries and an extra drizzle of syrup
Notes
You could also top with a dollop of coconut yoghurt or whipped coconut cream for a truly decadent treat!
If you can't get hold of the Sweet Freedom vanilla syrup you can use either their regular fruit syrup, maple or agave syrup - for all of them just add a dash of vanilla extract to the batter as well
