Coconut French Toast

I love this for breakfast, brunch, dinner. You don't need a lot of coconut, so buy it in the bulk section and get about 1/4 cup. Let's kick it up a notch by making it a tab bit healthier.

Bread: get multi-grain or some kind of bread better than white.
Mix: same like other recipe --eggs(organic plz), cinnamon, milk, coconut.
Fruit: Fresh fruit slices such as bananas, mangoes, strawberries.
Syrup: Pure maple syrup.

So dip bread in egg batter, fry in olive oil. After you do all your slices, top it off with your fresh fruit and sprinkle some powdered sugar for presentation.

I know pure maple syrup is expensive and it's thinner than the syrups we're all used to, but have you read the ingredients of the commercial syrups? Corn syrup. Not good. One trick to try and get the kids used to pure syrup is to do 1/2 and 1/2. As they become more used to the real syrup, scale back on the cheap, commercial, bad for you brand.
