In the holiday mood? Pair it with an orange holiday smoothie for a complete holiday breakfast.
Notes: If your eggnog is really thick, add some non-dairy milk to make a bit thinner. The bread should be able to soak up some of the egg nog and the liquid should drip off the bread when removed from the soaking dish.

Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan eggnog smoothie
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (optional, depending on the thickness of your eggnog)
- 1 Tbsp ground chia seeds
- 4-5 slices gluten-free bread
- 1-2 Tbsp coconut oil
Preparation
-
Mix the eggnog, non-dairy milk (if needed, see notes) and ground chia seeds in a large, shallow bowl. Place in the fridge to thicken for about 5 minutes.
-
Preheat a non-stick or cast iron skillet to medium-low heat and grease with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
-
Dip each slice of bread in the batter for about 20 seconds on each side (for drier bread, leave in a bit longer. If you’re using pre-sliced sandwich bread, 20 seconds should be sufficient).
-
Place on skillet and cook until golden brown on the underside. Carefully flip and cook until the other side is golden brown as well, 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat, adding more coconut oil if bread begins to stick.
-
Top with any toppings you’d like. I used coconut whipped cream, pecans and maple syrup.
