- Prep the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and prepare an oven-proof dish or pan.
- Prep the base. Whisk the melted butter, heavy cream, egg, coconut flour, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Pour the mixture into the oven dish.
- Bake the base. Transfer the dish to the oven and cook for 10 minutes until set.
- Rest the base. Once cooked, remove from the oven and rest until it reaches room temperature.
- Cut into slices. Once the base has reached room temperature, cut it into four pieces that resemble French toast.
- Prep the coating. Whisk the egg, heavy cream, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a tiny pinch of sea salt in a small mixing bowl.
- Fry the French toast. Heat the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Dip each French toast slice in the coating mixture and fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Optionally sprinkle over powdered Erythritol and slices of low carb fruit.
