Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Maple syrup for serving
- Oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly thickened.
- Allow the mixture to sit for 3-5 minutes to let the flaxseed create a binding effect, similar to an egg replacement.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking oil.
- Dip each slice of bread into the almond milk mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not soaked through.
- Place the coated bread slice onto the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat the dipping and cooking process for all bread slices, adding a small amount of oil to the pan between batches if needed.
- Transfer cooked French toast to a serving plate and drizzle generously with maple syrup.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your vegan breakfast.
Tips
- Choose the Right Bread: Use slightly stale bread or day-old bread for the best texture. Thick-cut bread works best and holds the almond milk mixture without falling apart.
- Flaxseed Magic: Let the flaxseed mixture sit for 3-5 minutes to create a perfect egg-like binding effect. This is crucial for achieving the right consistency.
- Temperature Control: Keep your skillet at medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent burning. Too high heat will char the outside while leaving the inside soggy.
- Don't Oversoak: Quickly dip the bread in the mixture - you want it coated, not drowning. Excess liquid will make your French toast soggy instead of crispy.
- Oil Management: Use a non-stick skillet and just a light coating of oil between batches to keep the toast crisp and prevent sticking.
- Serve Immediately: French toast is best enjoyed hot and fresh, so serve right after cooking for maximum crispiness and flavor.Pro Tip: For extra indulgence, top with fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a dollop of vegan whipped cream!
