Vegan French Toast

Prep Time

5 minutes

Cooking Time

5 minutes

Yields

3 – 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened milk alternative
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot
  • 1 teaspoon ground flaxseeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons date syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 6 – 8 slices thick sliced quality, whole grain bread
  • 2-3 tablespoons vegan butter, coconut oil or avocado oil for frying
  • For serving: more date syrup, fresh fruit

Directions

  1. In a shallow bowl, wide enough to hold a piece of bread, whisk together the milk alternative, arrowroot, ground flaxseeds, baking powder, cinnamon, date syrup and vanilla.
  2. Add a little bit of vegan butter or oil of choice to a pan over medium-high heat and heat. Whisk the batter again right before dipping bread, as the arrowroot might settle to the bottom of the bowl. 
  3. Dip each side of the bread in the batter and let soak for about 10 seconds, then add the bread to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Add more vegan butter/oil to the pan as needed in between pieces of bread. 
  4. Serve with date syrup, and fresh fruit, if desired.

Notes

You can use any kind of non-dairy milk, such as soy, coconut, almond, cashew or oat milk.

This recipe does not freeze well, and is best served fresh.
