Weekends are hectic in my house and we rarely find time to have breakfast together. When I make this special French toast on a Saturday morning, my boys are more than happy to help in the kitchen and eat together!—Amie Carlock, Brick, New Jersey

Directions

  1. Cut bread into 3/4-in. slices; place in a single layer in a 15x10-in. rimmed baking pan. Whisk together eggs, coconut milk, vanilla and salt. Carefully pour egg mixture evenly over bread; let stand 20 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil over medium heat. Cook bread in batches until golden brown, 3-4 minutes per side, adding remaining coconut oil as necessary. Meanwhile, beat heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and coconut extract; beat until soft peaks form.
  3. Top French toast with chopped mango, whipped cream and toasted shredded coconut.
