This dairy-free and vegan holiday twist on a classic weekend breakfast is not to be missed! Baking this Peppermint Bark French Toast in the oven allows for a hands-off cook time, rather than frying each piece in a pan. 

Servings: 9-10

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 9-10 pieces of vegan brioche bread, or bread of your choice
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup Califia Farms Peppermint Mocha Creamer
• 1 cup Califia Farms Vanilla Almondmilk
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract 
• Crushed candy canes, optional 

Method

1. Toast your bread of choice in the oven by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Add bread to a baking sheet and toast until dry and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. (Stale bread works even better! If using stale bread, skip this step.)
2. Combine cocoa powder, dark brown sugar, powdered sugar, and pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together. Then, add Califia Farms Peppermint Mocha Creamer and Vanilla Almondmilk. Whisk until batter is smooth, then add peppermint extract and whisk again until combined.
3. Add bread to an 8x11 baking dish and pour batter on top, ensuring all pieces of bread are coated.
4. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes. Top with crushed candy canes if desired, and enjoy!
