Ingredients:
Four slices thick bread (like sourdough, challah or whole wheat)
1 cup almond milk (or any plant milk you prefer)
2 tbsp ground flaxseed (flax egg replacer)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for additional sweetness)
Vegan butter or oil to fry
Add-ins: Maple syrup, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or coconut whipped cream (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prepare the Flaxseed Mixture:
Begin by whipping up whatever egg replacement you’re using. 1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed and 6 tablespoons water. Mix and allow to sit for 5 minutes. It will thicken to an egg-like consistency.
Make the French Toast Batter:
In a medium bowl, combine the following, whisking until smooth:
1 cup almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
A pinch of salt
Method: Add the flaxseed mixture to the bowl and mix until fully combined. If you like your French toast sweet, you can also mix in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup in the batter for a touch of sweetness.
Prepare the Bread:
This recipe works with your favorite bread. Sturdier, thicker slices such as sourdough, challah or whole wheat work best, since they can absorb the batter without disintegrating.
If you like even more crunch, lightly toast the bread slices before dipping them.
Dip the Bread:
Instructions: In a non-stick skillet or frying pan, heat over medium heat. Grease the pan lightly with vegan butter or oil so the French toast doesn’t stick.
Get each slice of bread and soak the batter mixture of it, one side and the other side, until it is covered well. Don’t let it get soaked too long; a quick dip is all you need to ensure the bread drinks in the flavor without going mushy.
Cook the French Toast:
Just dip and place on a hot skillet the bread slices. Fry the pancakes two to four minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Cook, adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent burning, until the beans are tender and the sauce is thick, anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your stove top.
Serve:
Then when its golden and crispy, take it out and onto a plate.
Drizzle maple syrup, fresh fruit, powdered sugar or coconut whipped cream on top for extra flair.
Tips for Making the Best Egg-Free French Toast:
Choice Of Bread: Friends, the bread you use will matter a lot! A nice, thick, hearty bread sourdough, challah, even a good-quality gluten-free bread will provide the best texture and flavor.
Flaxseed Mixture: Substitute chia seeds or silken tofu, if you don’t have ground flaxseed; the texture will vary slightly.
Add-ins: Try adding a little nutmeg or cardamom or even a splash of orange zest to the batter to create interesting flavor variations.
Crisp: For extra crispy French toast, set the cooked slices in an oven at 350 F (175 C) for a few minutes, or set on a wire rack while you finish cooking the rest.
Health Benefits:
Plant-Based: This is naturally vegan, so it can fit most plant-based diets.
Added Fiber: Using slices to assemble big sandwiches contributes fiber in the form of whole-grain bread, which would help round out your meal, if that matters to you.
No Dairy, No Eggs: Great for people with allergies or wanting to cut back on animal products.
F.A.Q.: Frequent Asked Questions:
Can I use gluten-free bread?
Yes! This recipe is well suited for gluten-free bread. Be sure to use a well-structured gluten-free loaf, one that won’t fall apart when dunked in the batter.
What can I substitute for flaxseed?

You can make the batter in advance and keep it, covered, in the fridge for up to 2 days. When it’s time to eat, simply dip the bread and cook fresh.
