- Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are coated. Let the bread soak for about 20-30 seconds to absorb the mixture.

Notes
- For those looking to swap out honey in this recipe, there are plenty of wholesome alternatives that can suit different tastes and dietary needs. Maple syrup is an easy 1:1 substitute, offering a rich, caramel-like sweetness that pairs beautifully with cinnamon and vanilla. Coconut sugar is another great option, providing a subtle sweetness with a hint of molasses, and it works perfectly in the batter. If you’re watching your sugar intake, monk fruit sweetener is a low-carb choice that can be used in equal amounts, though you may want to adjust to taste. For a natural, fruit-based option, try date syrup or paste—it adds sweetness with a slight fruity flavor that’s both unique and delicious. Each of these alternatives brings its own flavor and benefits, so feel free to experiment and find your favorite!
