A healthier but just as delicious version of the breakfast classic. Blend up the eggs in the blender for the easiest soak, but you can also whisk them rapidly by hand.

Instructions
Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Place a large dinner plate in the oven. This will be for keeping the french toast warm after it's cooked.
Add the melted butter through ground cinnamon to a blender or large bowl. Blend on high for 15 seconds or whisk vigorously for 30-45 seconds until the flour is thoroughly dissolved into the liquids.
Add the bread to a large shallow bowl. Pour the egg mixture over and turn the bread in it until all sides are covered. Let the bread soak in it for 5-10 minutes, or until the liquid has absorbed but the bread isn't mushy.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil and melt until hot.
Add 2-3 pieces of french toast to the skillet (or as many that your skillet will fit without overcrowding the pan), and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping every 2.5-3 minutes, or once the sides are golden and the bread is cooked through.
Remove the toast from the pan and add it to the plate in the oven. Repeat steps 4 & 5 until you've cooked all the bread; turning the heat down to medium if you find that the skillet is getting too warm as you continue to cook.
Serve and enjoy with any of your favorite toppings!
Notes
1. Leftovers will store covered in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. 2. Reheat in the microwave on medium power or in a toaster oven for the best results.
