They don’t call them superfoods for nothing. They really are amazing. The coconuts and the aloe, the goji and the spirulina. Now I’ll be the first to admit that I am not ready to give up my stove, exclusively in favour of consuming every super-powered meals out of my VitaMix. Not there yet, and may never be. For this reason, I do my best to integrate as many and as much super-food power into my everyday eating. Grinding and sprinkling goes a long way for easy integration.
This skill for sneaking in the super powers is what I will be discussing and teaching at my workshop coming up this Sunday called Raw Super Food Power. See, these foods are so amazingly healthful (and I will share the benefits of them) but sometimes we just want to eat food, and I will be showing you how to integrate them into every day easy and delicious eating. The deets for the works shop are here, or zip down to the bottom.
And back to the French toast. Wow, was it a delicious creation of two nutritionists and two big Sunday morning appetites.
We began with a loaf of incredible hulk bread (made with sprouted quinoa and laced with spirulina), that we sliced just thick enough.
We battered these babies in one egg, grilled on a hot (but not too hot- opting for lower heat and longer cooking time). Once ready, we sprinkled the bread with the healthiest of toppings.
These super-powered French toast toppings included fresh grated coconut, ground goji berries, ground flaxmeal and you can’t have French toast without syrup…
And so I mixed up my special syrup mix (more on that soon!).
Of course I had made fresh coconut milk to accompany our chai spiced tea and isn’t that a perfect made from scratch Sunday breakfast? Total time, I’ll have you know, was under thirty minutes (without the baking of the bread- that was done in advance).
There produced the ultimate superfood Sunday morning French toast breakfast. This French toast was so super powered that if it had wings, it would have surely flown away. Instead, after eating, we flew (or walked briskly) down to my fave place to be in all of Toronto- by the lake.
Right, back to the French toast.
French Toast with Wings
(serves 2)
4 slices of Incredible Hulk Bread (or bread of your choosing)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg (preferably freshly grated)
pinch of clove
pinch of allspice
coconut oil for cooking
Optional super-powered accouterments: ground goji, ground flax, chia, grated coconut (fresh or dried), cacao nibs. Check out this site for super foods!
- Slice bread to desired thickness
- Mix together eggs with spices
- Place bread into bowl with eggs and allow to sit for a few moments a piece to soak up the eggs
- Meanwhile, heat a skillet and add coconut oil
- Depending on the size of your skillet, you might be able to cook all the pieces at once.
- Cook on medium heat and once underside of bread is dry, flip it over. If you have leftover egg in the bowl, simply pour it over the bread while it is in the pan.
- Transfer to a plate, serve with all the add ons you desire and perhaps some fresh sliced fruit or a little salad on the side.

I love the green bread! You should totally do something with that for St. Patty’s day! Green bread, green smoothie, green salad.
In fact… I think I might do that myself
We’ve already been plotting- how many ways to use spirulina!
Hmm I love french toast. I could surely justify this super food french toast.
Just wondering for the 4 slices of bread did you use 2 eggs?
Yes- but one would probably do just fine- we had some leftover.
Hey Meghan! This french toast looks amazing. My jaw dropped when I saw the incredible hulk bread..so cool! I’ve been looking for a bread recipe using sprouted ingredients. Thank you for sharing:)
Wow, that is one awesome super food breakfast! I love the colors the most, I think.
Looks très yummy. Can’t wait to hear more about special syrup!
Wahouuu incredible bread!! Beautiful pictures as usual!!
Your recipes are always so inspiring. Id never have thought of dipping green bread into an egg and cooking! Never mind all those toppings. I so have to make the green bread! My kids will be fighting over it
Thank you SO Much for sharing this on my roundup this week! YUM!
Can’t wait to try this version of french toast.
I made french toast for my dairy free daughter, by using a couple tbalespoons of coconut milk (I left a half used can in the fridge and it turned thick on top, I used that creamy stuff in the place of regular cream) with cinnamon and some organic sugar. I can’t wait to try your version with all those yummy spices.
It really is amazing!
