Gingerbread French Toast

This recipe comes from Lindsay Nixon's cookbook, The Happy Herbivore. I checked it out from the library on Friday and there are SO MANY things I want to make from it.
Here is a version of the recipe that she had previously posted on her website. The one in the cookbook is a little different. Here is how I made it.

Ingredients:
8 slices Koepplinger's Country French bread
1 c unsweetened almond milk
1/4 c whole wheat flour (chickpea flour would be better, but I didn't have any and I was too hungry to run to the store!)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp pure maple syrup
1/2 tsp fine salt
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
Whisk all ingredients (except bread) together in a shallow dish.
Dredge bread slices (cut into triangles) in the mixture and place in a heated skillet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Cook 2-3 minutes per side.
Re-spray the skillet and repeat with remaining slices.
Makes 4 servings.
