A rich, custardy soak made from coconut milk, ground flaxseed, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg gives this breakfast its deep flavor and golden color once it hits a hot skillet. Each slice turns deeply golden and crisp on the outside while staying tender and custard-set inside, no wet centers, no shortcuts. Fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup on top keep the finish simple and naturally sweet. It's a cozy, comforting morning stack that fits neatly into a Paleo kitchen, with all the toasty spice and richness you want from French toast.
