1. To make the raspberry syrup, in a small saucepan add the raspberries, water and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Turn the heat to medium-high and allow the mixture to come to a boil. Cook stirring constantly for 5 minutes then remove from heat.
2. Pour the raspberry mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove the raspberry seeds. Return the strained raspberry mixture to the saucepan.
3. Mix the cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of water and add it to the saucepan. Add in the maple syrup and whisk to combine. Heat over medium-high heat for 1 minute and then set aside to cool.
4. To make the french toast place the egg, almond milk, vanilla extract, sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
5. Spray a medium skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Dip the bread into the egg mixture turning to coat both sides and place in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
6. Drizzle the French toast with 2 tablespoons of raspberry syrup and garnish with fresh raspberries and powdered sugar.
