Slice your bread into approx one inch thick strips and set aside.
Add all remaining ingredients (everything except the bread) to your blender and process until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a wide and shallow bowl, working in batches if needed. Then dip several of your sticks of bread on all sides, letting it soak up the batter for 30-60 seconds.
Heat a nonstick griddle, large skillet, or well-seasoned cast iron pan over medium heat. Grease first if necessary. Then cook your french toast sticks for 2-3 minutes on each side, working in as many batches as necessary, depending on the size of your griddle or pan.
Serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, fresh berries, maple syrup, or enjoy as they are.
Notes
Use bread that is sturdy and denser than regular sliced sandwich bread and cut your sticks into one-inch-thick pieces. You don't want them too thin or they may break after soaking in the batter.Do your best to cut your french toast sticks into similar sized pieces for even cooking.Make sure to preheat your pan or griddle before cooking your french toast. If you don't preheat, the batter may fall and get stuck to the pan.For low fat, you may use any non-dairy milk like almond milk or soy milk in place of the coconut. The recipe will work just fine, but won't be as rich.For gluten-free, use your favourite gluten-free bread instead.
