Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices of sourdough bread
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Maple syrup for serving
- Fresh fruit for serving
Instructions
- In a shallow mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk, ground flaxseed, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined and slightly thickened. Let the mixture sit for 3-5 minutes to allow the flaxseed to create an egg-like binding consistency.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of plant-based oil or vegan butter.
- Dip each slice of sourdough bread into the almond milk mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Allow excess liquid to drip off briefly.
- Place the soaked bread onto the heated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat if needed to prevent burning.
- Transfer the cooked French toast to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh seasonal fruits like berries, sliced bananas, or peaches.
- Drizzle generously with pure maple syrup and optionally dust with additional cinnamon if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your vegan sourdough French toast.
Tips
- • Use day-old sourdough bread for the best texture - slightly stale bread absorbs the mixture more effectively • Let the flaxseed mixture sit for the full 3-5 minutes to create a perfect egg-like consistency • Make sure your skillet is at medium heat to achieve an even, golden-brown crust • Don't oversoak the bread - a quick dip is enough to prevent soggy French toast • For extra richness, use a flavored plant-based milk like vanilla almond milk • Experiment with different toppings like coconut whipped cream, nut butters, or additional spices like nutmeg • Serve immediately for the crispiest texture and most enjoyable eating experience
