Servings: 4 servings
- 2 cups rhubarb sliced into 2 inch pieces (about 3 stalks)
- 1 Tbsp. coconut sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. melted grass fed butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 Tbsp. water
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon optional
- 8 slices whole grain bread
- 1/2 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp. crushed pistachios
- Honey or pure maple syrup
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine rhubarb, coconut sugar, vanilla, oil (or butter), and sea salt in a bowl. Toss to combine. Let stand 10 minutes. Pour out into an 8x8 square baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until softened.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray with nonstick spray or coat with additional coconut oil or butter.
Place eggs, water, and cinnamon in a wide-rimmed bowl; whisk to combine. Dip each bread slice into egg wash, coating both sides. Place on pan and cook, 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Repeat with remaining bread. Place 2 pieces French toast on each of 4 plates. Top each serving with 2 Tbsp. Greek yogurt. Divide rhubarb mixture and pistachios evenly over top. Drizzle with honey or pure maple syrup.
