Coconut Banana French Toast

Today was the start of The Skinny Bitch Project!

Breakfast is by far my favorite meal of the day. So naturally, the first recipe I tried was from the breakfast section of the book- Coconut Banana French Toast! Let me tell you, it was good. The batter was very simple to make with a very light texture to it. I am also happy to report that even though the recipe says it serves six, there was enough batter left over to refrigerate and make again!

It was a slight struggle to keep the bread from sticking to the bottom of the pan, however. I found I had to use far more Earth Balance in the pan than the recipe called for (approx. 2-4 Tbsp more!). Unfortunately, I think all the extra Earth Balance added an unintended buttery flavor to the toast. It could have simply been that the cast iron skillet wasn't the best choice for the recipe and that's what caused to sticking. I think I'll try using a griddle next time I make this.

Kim definately did good with this recipe though! I had three delicious pieces covered in banana slices and maple flavored agave nectar :)
