Vegan french toast recipe
Prep time: 5 min
Cooking time: 8 min Total time: 13 min
Servings: 6-8 slices
Ingredients:
1 cup soy milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegan butter, for cooking
Cooked frozen berries (optional)
Chia seeds (optional, 1 tablespoon per cup of berries)
How to make it:
Prepare the Batter:
In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the soy milk, ground flaxseed, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined. This will be your vegan French toast batter.
Dip and Soak:
Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring that both sides are evenly coated. Allow the bread to soak in the batter for a few seconds, allowing it to absorb the flavors.
Cook the French Toast:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of vegan butter.
Once the skillet is hot, place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Optional Berry Compote:
While the French toast is cooking, prepare the berry compote by heating the cooked frozen berries in a small saucepan over medium heat. If desired, stir in chia seeds for added texture and nutritional benefits. Cook until the berries are warm and slightly softened.
Serve:
Transfer the cooked French toast to serving plates.
Spoon the warm berry compote over the French toast slices, allowing the juices to soak into the bread.
Garnish with additional berries or a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if desired.
Optional Tips:
Feel free to customize the spices in the French toast batter according to your taste preferences. Experiment with additions such as cardamom, ginger, or allspice for unique flavor profiles.
Serve the French toast with a dollop of dairy-free yogurt or whipped cream for added richness and creaminess.
For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle the French toast with maple syrup or agave nectar before serving.
Enjoy the irresistible combination of fluffy French toast and luscious berry compote, creating a breakfast experience that's both satisfying and satisfyingly sweet.
