Ingredients
- 2 slices Ezekiel bread
- 2 whole eggs (or 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites for a lighter option)
- 2 tablespoons milk (skim, almond, or your choice)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon raw honey (optional)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (for greasing the pan)
Toppings (optional):
- Pure maple syrup
- Sliced strawberries

Instructions
- Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick pan over low to medium heat. Add the coconut oil to grease the pan lightly.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and honey. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish or pie plate.
- Dunk the Bread: Dip each slice of Ezekiel bread into the egg mixture for about 15 seconds per side. Be quick to avoid the bread becoming too soggy.

- Serve: Plate the French toast and add your favorite toppings. A drizzle of maple syrup, fresh fruit, and a sprinkle of shredded coconut make for a perfect finish.

Notes
- Quick Soak: Ezekiel bread is more delicate than regular bread, so avoid soaking it for too long in the egg mixture.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter French toast, you can add a little more honey or use flavored almond milk.
- Heat Control: Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the outside while ensuring the inside is cooked through.
