How to make vegan french toast – Step by step

Step by step photos of how to make vegan French toast from scratch

Mix all the batter ingredients in a shallow dish until well combined (photo 1).
Coat both sides of the toasts in batter until completely covered (photo 2). Soak each one of them for about 30 seconds (be careful not to soak them too much. If they get soggy, they might break).
Heat a little bit of vegan butter or oil in a pan or griddle (photo 3) and add the toasts (photo 4). Cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

Pro tips

Any type of flour will work (also gluten-free).
Use any kind of sweetener as well.
The original recipe is made with Italian bread, brioche or sliced bread (always soft bread). I used vegan sliced bread without too many additives and preservatives.
Stale bread works best for French toasts.
Using butter will make the toasts tastier, but coconut oil is also delicious and healthier. Any kind of oil will work, though.

How to serve this vegan French toast

You can eat French toasts with anything you’d like! Maple syrup, vegan butter, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, vegan whipped cream, jam… And even accompany them with this tofu scramble to make a complete and delicious brunch.

Can I freeze this vegan French toast?

Yes, you can freeze French toasts. Just let them cool before putting the leftovers in the freezer. I’d recommend you freeze them separately and then transfer them into a freezer bag (about 2 hours later). That way, it’ll be easier to take one out of the freezer if you don’t want all of them at the same time and they will stay crunchy as well.

To thaw, use the microwave, the toaster or the oven. They will last for up to 2 months in the freezer.

How can I reheat this vegan French toast?

You can reheat them in the microwave, in the toaster or in the oven. If you use the oven, make sure to heat them on a low-heat setting so they don’t get burnt.
