Recipe

• 1/3 cup very ripe banana
• 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
• 1/4 + 1 tbsp cup milk of choice
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup oat flour (*if you don’t have oat flour, simply fine grind ½ cup of oats)

PART ONE: MAKE THE BREAD

Preheat the oven to 350F° and line a loaf pan (5” by 9”) with parchment paper. In a bowl, mash a very ripe banana with a fork. Add-in milk, egg and maple syrup and whisk to combine. Grind the HOLOS package contents into flour by using a blender, food processor or coffee grinder. In a separate bowl mix the ground HOLOS with baking powder and flour and mix thoroughly. Add wet to dry. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before slicing.

• 1 tbsp tapioca flour or cornstarch
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/2 cup milk of choice
• Pinch of salt

PART TWO: MAKE THE BATTER

Place all ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine.

FINISHING INGREDIENTS

• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp icing sugar (optional)

PART THREE: TURNING BREAD AND BATTER INTO FRENCH TOAST STICKS

Slice loaf into seven uniform sticks. Place sticks into batter and dredges on all sides. In a non-stick pan heat vegan butter over med-high. Shake off access batter and drop sticks into the pan. Brown all 4 sides. Once crispy, place into a bowl. Dust with icing sugar if your heart desires and serve with pure maple syrup for dipping!
