Pumpkin puree is a hidden gem, packed with antioxidants like beta-carotene. Why should you care? Because your body converts it into Vitamin A, which is like a VIP pass for your immune system and eye health. [1]
Eggs are the unsung heroes of the protein world. They're not just for bodybuilders; they're for everyone who wants to repair and grow their muscles.
We've swapped out regular milk and butter for almond milk and coconut oil. The result? A dish that's as kind to your heart as it is to your taste buds.

Need a morning pick-me-up? The natural sugars in maple syrup are your go-to. They're like a shot of espresso for your cells.
Fiber is the unsung hero of digestive health. It's the backstage crew that makes the show go on smoothly.
Each serving of this French toast offers about 4g of dietary fiber. That's 16% of your Daily Value (DV) right there!
Coconut oil isn't just for your hair; it's a source of healthy fats that are good for your brain and heart.
Coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are like the express trains of the fat world—they get where they need to go without unnecessary stops.
Maple syrup brings natural sugars to the table, which are like the polite guests at a party—they don't overstay their welcome.
Watching your sugar? No worries. You can cut back on the maple syrup or opt for sugar-free alternatives.
Gluten-free folks, rejoice! This dish is tailor-made for you.

Cook the soaked bread slices for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown.
In a saucepan, combine maple syrup and apple cider. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until it reduces to a syrupy consistency.
Stir in coconut oil and remove from heat. Keep warm until ready to serve.
