Ingredients

Raspberry Compote

  • 1 pint fresh or frozen raspberries (if using frozen, thaw first)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (or Lankanto a natural low carb sweetener linked above)
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice plus 1 tablespoon water

French Toast

  • 8 pieces of your favorite bread (I use GF sour dough from New Grains Bakery linked above)
  • 4 eggs, whisked
  • 2/3 cups milk or almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or vanilla paste
  • 4 tablespoons butter, ghee or coconut oil
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries, for topping
  • powdered sugar, for garnish, optional

Instructions

Raspberry Compote

  1. Add all ingredients to a saucepan, mix well, bring to a simmer. Cook until sauce begins to thicken, about 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Use a potato masher to smash berries. When sauce is thick enough it should coat the spoon. To Strain Out Seeds: Use the back of a wooden spoon to press the coulis through a fine sieve to remove the seeds.

French Toast
