PiƱa Colada French Toast
Sing with me. “If you like piƱa coladas and getting caught in the rain. If you’re not into yoga, if you have half a brain..” Ok, so I MAY only have half a brain, but the half that is functioning came up with THIS PiƱa Colada French Toast!
I love PiƱa Coladas. I love the pineapple, coconut, and rum flavors! It would have to be one of my favorite cocktails…and I have a few. But PiƱa Coladas take the CAKE!
Speaking of cake, this is what these French Toasts taste like. Spongey and fluffy coconut and rum-flavored cake-like French toast! Stuffed with a rum-infused coconut-y creamy filling! And the juicy chunks of pineapple just SET.THIS.OFF!!
And how did I think up this recipe?
Well, I was thinking and thinking about HOW to convert French toast into a PiƱa Colada. But HOW Karina? THINK!
Maybe I swap out normal milk for coconut milk…and maybe if I had pineapple in the egg wash I add the mashed banana into my Banana Bread French Toast, and maybe I add a little rum! Yeah, that should do it!
So, I did it.
What a beautiful and decadent way to wake up and start the day. Rum, rum, rum. Did I mention Rum?
I would say the rum is optional…well it COULD be, but that takes the fun out of it! But it is optional. (Not really).
