- For Cooking:

Instructions:
- Prepare the Bread:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt.
- Add melted coconut oil or butter, almond milk, sweetener (if using), and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Form the dough into a loaf shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing it into pieces.
- Prepare the French Toast Mixture:
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and sweetener.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to gel slightly.
- Cook the French Toast:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a bit of butter or coconut oil.
- Dip each slice of bread into the French toast mixture, making sure it’s well-coated but not overly soggy.
- Cook each slice for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Serve:
- Serve your egg-free keto French toast warm with keto-friendly toppings like fresh berries, a sprinkle of powdered erythritol, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.
