This Healthy Toasted Coconut Cashew Pineapple Vegan French Toast Bake is a delicious addition to your brunch or weekend breakfast and is so easy to make. 

Back when I was younger, one of the most exciting things that happened during the weekend was my Dad making breakfast.  I’ve always been a pancake girl at heart, but every once in a while I asked for french toast.

 

 I’ve always helped him flip them on the griddle because french toast is a thousand times easier to flip then pancakes (can I get an AMEN!).

It occurred to me that pancakes seem to dominate on this site. Now I’m kinda over them (for a hot minute), and moved on to the other side of town, aka french toast.  I feel like there aren’t many variations that you can make with french toast, so I needed to change that ASAP.

I decided to crust the french toast in toasted coconut and cashews because I like coconut and nut-crusted stuff. And by stuff I mean Salmon and Tilapia.  So if coconut and nuts are good on seafood, they must be good on french toast (seems logic right?).

I felt like I going down the tropical route, so I thought that I might as well add pineapple and more coconut in milk form.  So when you eat this you can imagine you are on a vacation in Fiji and sitting by the beach relaxing with your toes in the sand.

    Wow, this is such a creative twist on French toast! I must try this…my son has recently discovered French toast (which is cool, because I’m kind of over pancakes at the moment too) so I’m sure this will be a hit in our house!
