French Toast with Caramelised Pears

1: Combine the plant-based milk, flaxseed, sugar, and vanilla extract in a shallow bowl. Leave for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

2: Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Dunk the stale bread in the milky mixture until fully submerged (around 10-20 seconds on each side) and add the slice to the pan. Repeat for each slice and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown (you may need to do this in batches).

3: Meanwhile, slice the pear into sixths and remove the cores from each slice. Add another teaspoon of coconut oil to a separate frying pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the pear slices and fry for 3 minutes on each side or until they start to brown. Then add the brown sugar and ground cinnamon along with 2 teaspoons of water to the pan and toss through until caramelised.

4: To serve, divide the French toast between two plates and top with the sliced pears and caramel sauce from the pan. Top with toasted almond flakes to finish. Optionally, drizzle maple syrup over the top for an extra treat.
