SHOP INGREDIENTS

Vegan French Toast

  • Prep Time:
  • 20 minutes
  • Cook Time:
  • 6 minutes
  • Total Time:
  • 26 minutes
  • Yields:
  • 5 slices

Ingredients

  • 1 heaping Tbsp chia seeds (whole or ground into a fine meal so their undetectable)
  • 1/2 Tbsp agave nectar or maple syrup (or sub honey if not vegan)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4-5 sliced bread (it’s important to use a sturdy, rustic bread or it can turn out soggy/soft)

directions

  1. Mix all ingredients except the bread in a large, shallow bowl. Place in the fridge to activate for 10-20 minutes.
  2. Preheat griddle to medium heat (350 degrees) and grease with 1 Tbsp vegan butter or coconut oil.
  3. Dip each slice of bread in the batter for about 20 seconds on each side. If your bread is dry, leave it in a little longer. If you’re using sandwich bread, it should only need 25-30 seconds total to soak.
  4. Place on griddle (or pan) and cook until golden brown on the underside. Carefully flip and cook until the other side is golden brown as well- 3-4 minutes.
  5. Top with desired toppings.

Toppings

We used raspberries, blueberries, maple syrup, and mint to garnish.

Add whatever toppings your in the mood for; peanut butter and homemade chocolate sauce or honey and bananas. Whatever your heart desires.
