This French Toast Is Not Just a Rapper's Delight

Let me just say it again: I really, really, really love "Rapper's Delight." So much so that it inspired me to make some breakfast toast. But where's the challenge in that? Anyone can put some bread in the toaster and push the lever down. Instead, here's a recipe for French toast (or, "Freedom" toast, if you still buy into that sort of thing). It might look like a lot of steps but if you read through it before you start, I think you'll find that it's pretty simple. [[justin]]

You Can Brag and Boast About This French Toast
2 Tb tahini
1 Tb nut butter (peanut, almond, macadamia ... be creative!)
3/4 cup soymilk
1 Tb maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 Tb flour
6 slices bread (white or sourdough for the most traditional variety, a seeded multigrain for some extra crunch and a heartier texture)
1 Tb canola oil

- Mix tahini, nut butter, soymilk, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon together until smooth
- Add flour until the mixture is thoroughly blended (no clumps or dry bubbles)
- Add oil to a nonstick skillet. Turn heat to medium
- One at a time, drop slices of bread into the batter mix. Make sure the entire slice is coated generously, then drop into heated pan and fry until golden brown on both sides (5 minutes, give or take, depending on your stovetop)
- Pan --> plate. Admire your creation
- Add your favorite toppings. We like bananas and maple syrup but you could also make a strong argument in favor of strawberries, walnuts, powdered sugar, agave nectar, etc.
- Serve with a big glass of soymilk and enjoy!
