Easy Vegan French Toast
Vegan French toast is the perfect breakfast for a weekend. Crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside, and so easy to make with only 8 everyday ingredients.
Servings: 3
Calories: 263kcal
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk I used soy milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar granulated, brown, or any type
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract optional
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 6 thick slices one-day-old bread of choice brioche, challah, baguette, ciabatta, and sourdough are top choices
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter or coconut oil for frying
Instructions
- Whisk all the batter ingredients (flour, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt) in a shallow bowl or dish.
- Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat (you can also use a griddle). Add the vegan butter or coconut oil to melt.
- Dip both sides of the bread into the batter allowing the bread to soak in some of it for a few seconds.
- Soaking time depends on how old the bread is and on the type of bread. Be careful not to soak them too much. If they get soggy, they might break.
- Add the bread to the skillet and cook over medium-low heat until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Add more vegan butter or coconut oil as needed for the remaining bread slices.
Notes
Substitutions:
- I've only made this recipe by using all-purpose flour, but any type of flour should work.
- Use a gluten-free flour blend and gluten-free bread for a gluten-free version of this recipe.
- I've tried this recipe with granulated and brown sugar and both works great. However, any sweetener will do. Make sure the sugar you're using is vegan, though.
- Feel free to use any oil instead of vegan butter or coconut oil (although they're my favorite ones). I would use a neutral flavor oil like canola or sunflower oil.
- Refrigerator: store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
- Freezer: place some parchment paper between each slice, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or inside a freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Thaw: use the microwave, the toaster, or the oven.
- Reheat: you can reheat them in the microwave, in the toaster, or in the oven. If you use the oven, make sure to heat them in a low-heat setting so they don’t get burnt.
