Choose a bread that has no egg, whey, or honey; the creator uses La Brea Bakery sourdough bread.

Prepare the soaking mix by combining 1.5 cups almond milk, 2 tablespoons ground flax, and 2 tablespoons chickpea flour in a mixing bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons coconut oil, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 0.5 teaspoons almond extract, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the bowl and mix well.

Add 0.25 to 0.75 cups sliced almonds to the mixture and whisk until combined.

Soak the bread slices in the mixture, flipping them to ensure they are well-coated.

Option 1: Bake the soaked bread in a 350°F oven for 20 minutes covered, then uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until crispy.

Option 2: Pan-fry the soaked bread in a skillet with a little oil until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serve the baked French toast garnished with maple syrup and fresh raspberries.
