Method 6 steps
Preheated the oven to 120°C (250°F).
In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, orange zest, vanilla and cinnamon. Place bran flakes on a plate.
Dip each slice of bread in egg mixture and coat both sides well. Then, dip one side into bran flakes.
Lightly spray a non-stick pan or griddle with cooking oil and heat over medium-high. Cook bread slices, bran flake side down, for about 3 minutes or until golden. Turn over and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden. Place French toast on a baking sheet and keep warm in preheated oven.
Meanwhile, in a separate non-stick pan, melt margarine and sugar over medium-high heat. Add orange and pineapple and bring to a simmer for 2 minutes to warm through.
Cut each French toast slice into 4 sticks and serve with pineapple orange mixture.
