Ingredients
  

4 slices of zucchini bread (store-bought or homemade)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (whole or almond milk for a dairy-free option)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)

Maple syrup for serving

Powdered sugar for garnish (optional)

Fresh berries for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined and frothy.

    Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.

      Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of zucchini bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not overly soggy. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.

        Cook the French Toast: Carefully place the soaked zucchini bread slices in the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.

          Serve and Garnish: Once cooked, transfer the French toast slices to plates. Drizzle with warm maple syrup, sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired, and top with fresh berries for added flavor and color.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your delicious twist on a classic breakfast favorite!
