Coconut French Toast Sticks

Ingredients

• 6 slices thick bread slices
• 3 large eggs
• ½ cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1.5 cups sweetened shredded coconut
• 4 tablespoons butter
• ¼ cup maple syrup

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut each bread slice into 3 sticks, about 1 inch wide. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a shallow dish, whisk the 3 eggs, 0.5 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon until smooth.

3. 3

   Place the 1.5 cups coconut in another shallow dish. Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, coating all sides, then roll in coconut to cover.

4. 4

   Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook half the sticks, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Repeat with remaining butter and sticks.

5. 5

   In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter with 0.25 cup maple syrup over low heat, stirring until smooth, about 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve the French toast sticks warm with the butter sauce drizzled over the top.
