Vegan French Toast

French toast but make it vegan! This recipe has all the wonderful flavors and textures of a traditional French toast without the eggs and dairy. It only requires a few simple ingredients and is super easy to make. The perfect breakfast alternative for a lazy morning!

Here's what you'll need:

• 3 tablespoons cornstarch

• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup

• 1 cup non-dairy milk (I used coconut milk for extra sweetness)

• 1/2 cup oats

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 3-4 slices whole wheat bread (toasted)

Directions:

1. In a blender, blend together your non-dairy milk with your oats. Set aside and let sit for about 5 minutes. This will allow the oats to soak up the milk and will make for a thicker batter.

2. Start toasting your bread.

3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together cornstarch, maple syrup, and 1/2 cup of your oat milk mixture. Make sure everything is well combined.

4. Add your vanilla extract, cinnamon, and remaining milk. Whisk together until well combined.

5. Place a non-stick skillet on the stove at medium high heat. If you don't have a non-stick skillet, you can use cooking oil spray or vegan butter in a regular skillet.

6. Once bread is toasted, dip each slice into your batter. Make sure your slice is fully saturated. Do not shake off any excess batter. (I made this mistake with my first two slices, and they didn't come out as expected)

7. Place your bread directly on the skillet and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Flip your toast and repeat.

8. Batter and cook your bread one slice at a time. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy.

9. Serve up with your favorite fruit & drizzle with maple syrup.

10. ENJOY!

NOTES:

• This recipe serves 1-2 people. You can double or triple the measurements to serve more!

• You can top your French toast with whatever toppings you like. Walnuts, extra cinnamon, or even some apple slices would pair well with this recipe.

• You don't have to toast the bread if you like a soggy texture. Toasting the bread will make for a nice, crispy outside and a soft center.

• Use a sugar free syrup for a low glycemic breakfast that won't spike your blood sugar.

• Want more protein? Add a tiny bit of protein powder to your batter.

• Have allergies? Adjust this recipe however you'd like. You can use rice or oat milk for nut allergies & gluten free bread if you have a gluten allergy/sensitivity.
