# Components:

→ For the Toast

01 - 4 thick slices brioche bread or sturdy sourdough bread

03 - 1/2 cup coconut yogurt, unsweetened or lightly sweetened
04 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
05 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

10 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
11 - Zest of 1 lime

# Directions:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
