French Toast

Indulge your taste buds in the ultimate breakfast delight with this Vegan French Toast recipe! Imagine thick slices of rustic sourdough bread, soaking up a rich, creamy batter before sizzling to golden perfection in the pan. Jess & Chris have crafted a plant-based twist on this classic favourite, using coconut milk for its luscious texture and a hint of sweetness.
The perfect coating is created by blended cornflour for that delightful crispiness, and added nutritional yeast for a subtle, savoury depth. A touch of baking powder gives this French toast a lovely fluffiness, while the magic of maple syrup and vanilla essence brings a hint of sweetness and warmth. And of course, what's French toast without a sprinkle of cinnamon? This aromatic spice ties all the flavours together, promising a symphony of taste with every bite.
So, get ready to experience the joy of vegan indulgence. Our Vegan French Toast recipe guarantees a breakfast that's not just satisfying, but downright irresistible. Whether it's a lazy Sunday morning or a special occasion, this recipe is your ticket to a delicious start to your day.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf 6-8 slice rustic bread We used sourdough as it tends to hold the batter well; other typical sandwich loaves can start to fall apart while cooking
  • 1 cup coconut milk can be any plant-based milk, although coconut and oat may be better as they tend to be thicker
  • 1 tbsp cornflour a.k.a: cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 3 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • In a relatively flat bowl (better for dipping!), pour in the coconut milk, maple syrup and vanilla essence and stir.
  • Mix together the cornflour, nutritional yeast, baking powder and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients into the coconut milk mixture, and whisk together until smooth. The mixture should be just starting to thicken, but still quite runny. If you fancy a thicker batter then simply add a little more cornflour.
  • Heat up a griddle pan (a frying pan will do!) with some vegan butter or oil at a medium-high temperature.
  • One at a time, dip a slice of bread into the batter for around 10 seconds on each side and then place carefully into the pan. Cook for around 3-4 minutes on each side (we like to do about a minute on each side and keep turning until they start getting golden brown and crispy).
  • Remove from the pan and garnish with whatever you like! We’ve chosen maple syrup, berries and icing sugar, but other great toppings are banana, nut butter, vegan bacon.. anything you fancy really.
