How to Make Easy Vegan French Toast
French toast is a delicious breakfast or brunch dish that everyone loves. However, if you're a vegan and want to enjoy this tasty meal, you might be wondering how to make it without using eggs. The good news is that there are plenty of egg substitutes that can help you achieve the same texture and flavor in your French toast.
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of day-old bread (preferably sliced)
- 1 cup of almond milk or any other non-dairy milk of your choice
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- Salt to taste
- Vegan butter or coconut oil for cooking
Instructions:
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Step 2: Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Let it soak for about 2 minutes while you heat up a pan or griddle over medium-high heat.
Step 3: Melt some vegan butter or coconut oil in the heated pan, enough to cover the entire bottom of the pan.
Step 4: Once the butter or oil has melted and is hot, carefully place the soaked bread slices onto the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they're golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Serve your French toast warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, powdered sugar, whipped cream, or syrup.
Tips:
- Use day-old bread or stale bread for the best results. The liquid mixture will soak into the bread and make it soft and tender.
- Don't soak the bread for too long or it will become soggy.
- You can also add some nutritional yeast to the mixture for an extra boost of flavor.
- Feel free to experiment with different spices such as pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, or cardamom to create your own unique flavor profile.
