Ingredients
Batter:
- 1 cup non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
French Toast:
- 6 slices bread (sturdy bread preferred, but sandwich bread works as well)
- About 1 tablespoon vegan butter or oil, plus more as needed for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish like a wide bowl or pie dish to dip the bread easily.
- Heat the pan: Place a pan on medium heat and add about a tablespoon of vegan butter or oil. Allow it to melt and coat the surface for cooking.
- Dip the bread slices: Working with two slices at a time, dip each slice of bread into the batter, coating both sides. If using a sturdy bread, let each side soak gently for about 5 seconds so the batter absorbs well; if using sandwich bread, a quick dip on each side is sufficient.
- Cook the french toast: Once the pan is hot, place the dipped bread slices in the pan. Cook each slice on both sides until golden brown, adding more vegan butter to the pan as needed for subsequent batches.
- Serve: Serve the vegan french toast warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
Notes
- Use a sturdy bread like sourdough, baguette, or multigrain to prevent sogginess; sandwich bread also works but dips quickly.
- Non-dairy milk options include almond, soy, oat, or cashew milk; choose your favorite or what you have on hand.
- Adjust cinnamon and vanilla amounts to taste for enhanced flavor.
- For extra richness, some add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed or cornstarch to the batter to improve texture.
- Cook on medium heat to ensure the toast cooks through without burning.
