Method
 

Preparation
  1. Blend the Batter: Start by combining the ripe banana, almond drink, GF flour, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cardamom, and salt in a blender. Blend until you reach a smooth, creamy consistency—this will be the delicious base for your French toast!
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a frying pan over medium heat and add the coconut oil. Let it heat until shimmering, creating the perfect non-stick surface for frying your French toast.
  3. Dip the Bread: Take each slice of GF bread and dip it into your prepared batter, ensuring both sides are generously coated. This is where the magic begins as the bread absorbs all those sweet flavors!
  4. Fry the Bread: Carefully place the battered bread slices into the hot pan and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side. You’re looking for a beautiful golden brown color—this means it’s perfectly cooked and ready to enjoy!
  5. Caramelize the Banana: While your bread cooks, slice the remaining banana and sauté it in a separate pan over medium heat until caramelized, which should take about 3-5 minutes. This will add a luscious sweetness to your dish.
  6. Serve Up the Delights: Once everything is cooked, serve the French toast topped with the caramelized bananas, a handful of blueberries, and blackberries. Drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with a pinch of fresh mint for an extra touch!
