Begin by cutting your firm bread into thick sticks, about 1 inch wide. Toast at 375°F for approximately 8 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add cinnamon if desired.

Preheat your non-stick pan or griddle to medium heat.

Carefully dip each bread stick into the prepared batter, ensuring an even coating.

Cook the coated sticks for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden-brown and crispy.

For optional cinnamon sugar, mix sugar and cinnamon, then toss warm sticks in the mixture.

Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup or alongside fresh fruits.
