Ingredients:
- 4 cups (1 liter) almond milk
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs

How to make Golden Oven-Baked French Toast:
- In a saucepan, heat the almond milk until it almost boils. Add the sugar, lemon zest strips, and cinnamon.
- While the milk warms, slice the bread into 1-inch (2 to 3 cm) thick slices.
- Dip the bread slices into the almond milk mixture, ensuring they soak up the liquid well.
- Place the soaked slices on a wire rack and let them rest for a few minutes to absorb even more flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Dip the slices into the beaten eggs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes, flipping the French toast halfway through for an even golden color.
- Finish by coating them in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon, and they are ready to serve!
