Ingredients

• 1 large eggplant, peeled and sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup milk of choice (e.g. almond or coconut milk)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (omit if using pumpkin pie spice)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Small amount of sweetener of choice, to taste (e.g. 2-5 drops organic liquid Stevia)
• Sea salt for salting eggplant

Instructions

1. Wash, peel, and slice eggplant into rounds. Lightly sprinkle each side with salt and allow to sit while preparing the batter.
2. Add eggs, milk, spices, and vanilla to bowl and whisk well.
3. Heat pan over medium heat.
4. Blot both sides of eggplant with paper towel or a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
