VEGAN CARAMEL SAUCE:
Combine coconut oil and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat.
When mixture is hot, add almond butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt and whisk until mixture begins to caramelize and turn darker. Pour caramel sauce into a bowl and set aside to let cool.
FRENCH TOAST:
Slice Pretzilla Burger Buns in half horizontally.
Soak Pretzilla Burger Buns in the chia seed wash for 2 minutes.
Heat remaining coconut oil in a large sauté pan on medium-high heat until completely melted.
