If you’re looking for a quick and easy scrumptious surprise for breakfast or brunch you’ve got to try Coconut Toast – it’s yummy. You can adjust the ingredients if you have more people, or if you are making it just for yourself. The coconut mixture keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days. It is simple and quick and a good alternative to muffins or breakfast pastries. Serve with yogurt, sliced pineapple, grapes or any other fruit of choice. I added ¼ cup of flaked almonds to the mix and used ciabatta bread, cranberry wheat, and whole-wheat seeded bread. Plain white bread works well too. The choice is yours. This is yet another recipe you can tweak to suite your preference.
