Description
Golden, fluffy, and perfectly spiced Vegan French Toast made without eggs or dairy. A cozy, plant-based twist on the classic breakfast favorite that's quick, easy, and endlessly customizable.
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
2 tbsp ground flaxseed
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
6–8 slices of thick bread (preferably slightly stale or day-old)
Coconut oil or vegan butter, for frying
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the almond milk, flaxseed, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil or vegan butter.
- Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, coating both sides thoroughly but avoid soaking too long.
- Cook the slices for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for extra spice.
Use canned coconut milk for a creamier texture.
For a savory twist, skip maple syrup and cinnamon and add nutritional yeast and turmeric instead.
Make stuffed French toast by spreading nut butter or vegan cream cheese between slices before cooking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or skillet.
Freeze cooked slices with parchment paper between them for quick reheating later.
