Looking for a simple way to elevate your weekend brunch and bring some summer flair to the table? This Coconut French Toast recipe will add sweetness and a tropical flavor to the classic morning dish.

Coconut French Toast

A coconut milk and orange juice batter turns your bread into a creamy, golden-hued slice ready to be generously covered by a blanket of shredded coconut.

The resulting French Toast is a sumptuous breakfast, so moist and sweet that you can eat it on its own without any syrup.  Serve with fresh berries for a beautiful presentation.
