2: French Toast with Chobani® Oat Milk Caramel, Caramelized Apples and Granola

In creating this indulgent breakfast treat, Chef Benjamin Lambert took inspiration from an oat milk semifreddo he made years ago. To transform it into a French toast, he saturates thick pieces of brioche in a “soaker” featuring Chobani® Oat Milk and reduced apple cider. Each slice of French toast is smothered with a generous helping of warm caramelized apples made even more decadent with the addition of an oat milk caramel, featuring vegan white chocolate chips. A finish of granola, a drizzle of more oat milk caramel and some powdered sugar complete the dessert-for-breakfast build. The chef offers no apologies: “It’s early in the day and your body needs the fuel.”
