I had this in my to try list for years after seeing in Pinterest. I had last few ripe organic Alphoso mangoes sitting in fridge. Not big fan of mangoes to eat it as such.
So thought of using it for making post. I made aamras puri yesterday and updated the video as well as used some for trying out French toast.
In fact, I have made French toast only few times. Recently started craving for the regular ones and then thought I will make a post and try this mango French toast itself.
Me and Vj loved to have it as it was sweet and with the king of fruits Mango!
👪 Serving size
This recipe is perfect for 5 toasts, but you can scale the recipe to suit your family size. Since there are calorie high ingredients, restrict yourself with two.
📖 Variations
- The choice of bread can be French bread, Brioche bread as well as sour dough bread.
- Pure Vanilla Extract and Cinnamon are there in this recipe. But if you do not like cinnamon flavor, I can suggest you to add a cardamom finely powdered and added to the batter. You can add a pinch of dry ginger as well, if you like.
- I used alphonso mango, as a result, the bright colored mango give a nice hue to the toast but you can use any variety,

🌱 Vegan version
Replace milk with coconut milk, butter with coconut oil or vegan friendly butter and add a tablespoon of coconut flakes in the batter. Use maple syrup or agave in place of honey for serving. It tastes awesome too.
Instead of coconut flavor, you can just make it similar to this by using oat milk, almond milk etc and other vegan friendly ingredients to swap with the dairy ones.
🧾 Notes
Since we are using fresh fruit pulp in the batter, I would suggest to finish off the batter within a day, refrigerated. It is very easy to prepare, so you can whip up the batter when you need.
Mango pulp can be prepped and kept overnight so that morning you just need to mix everything together.

Notes
- When using iron griddle, make sure to use butter as required to avoid sticking to the pan. So not try to flip before it gets cooked. It might be sticky.
- Once cooked well, it will easily come off from the pan.
- Cook in medium heat, neither too low nor high.
