Ingredients
French toast:
- 4 oz milk (or rice milk)
- 1 large egg (preferably organic)
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon (good quality)
- 1 ½ Tbsp brown sugar (save ½ Tbsp for sprinkling)
- 1 Tbsp butter (a few pats-for the pan)
- 4 lices bread (stale-a rustic ciabatta or brioche works well)
Orange Sauce
- Juice of 2 oranges (preferably organic)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla powder)
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Place the milk, egg, cinnamon, and 1 Tbsp of the brown sugar in a bowl and beat until well mixed and smooth.
- Soak the bread in the mixture (you can do this the night before if you prefer).
- In a skillet, place the pats of butter over medium heat, then sprinkle the soaked bread with a little brown sugar and place (sugar side down) in the pan; sprinkle the top with the remaining brown sugar- as needed (for a crispy toast).
- Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
- While the toast is cooking, put the orange juice, vanilla and the brown sugar (more or less, to taste) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and stir until the juice has reduced to a syrup, stirring continuously so that it doesn't stick.
- Drizzle the syrup over the cinnamon French toast and serve hot.

Notes
- Skip the sauce and top with another choice of syrups, if you like.
