french toast recipe
French toast recipe. It’s perfect for anyone who is vegan .
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plant-based milk (such as almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk)
- 2 tbsp flour (to help thicken the mixture, optional)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for extra fluffiness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, for flavor)
- A pinch of salt
- 4 slices of thick bread (like sourdough, brioche, or challah)
- 2 tbsp vegan butter or oil (for frying)
- Maple syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar for topping
Instructions:
- Prepare the batter: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, flour, cornstarch (if using), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. The flour and cornstarch help create a thick batter that mimics the texture of traditional egg-based French toast. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of vegan butter or oil to grease the surface. Allow the pan to heat up, but not too high to avoid burning the butter.
- Dip the bread: Take your slices of bread and dip each one into the batter, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Let the excess batter drip off, but ensure the bread is fully coated.
- Cook the French toast: Place the soaked bread onto the hot skillet. Cook each slice for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. You can press the bread down slightly to ensure even cooking.
- Serve: Once the French toast is crispy on both sides, remove it from the pan and place it on a plate. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Tips:
- Bread choice: Thicker bread works best as it absorbs the batter without getting too soggy. Day-old or slightly stale bread is perfect because it soaks up the batter better than fresh bread.
- Texture: If you prefer a thicker batter, you can add a little more flour or cornstarch. If it’s too thick, just add a bit more milk to thin it out.
- Toppings: Get creative with toppings! Fresh fruit, whipped coconut cream, or even a dollop of vegan yogurt work really well.
