Toast 6 pieces of Texas toast lightly.

In a bowl, add flour to warm almond milk and whisk until combined.

Add brown sugar to the milk mixture and stir to sweeten.

Incorporate melted butter into the mixture and mix well.

Combine vanilla extract and cinnamon to form a paste, then add to the milk mixture and whisk until combined.

Add egg yolks to the mixture and whisk thoroughly.

Pour the batter into a casserole dish for easy dipping.

Dip each slice of bread into the batter quickly, flipping it around without soaking it to avoid a soggy middle.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter until it starts to sizzle.

Add the dipped bread slices to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about a few minutes per side.

Flip the bread to cook the other side until golden brown.

Plate the French toast and press down with a spatula if desired.

Drizzle with powdered sugar and maple syrup before serving.
