065: Vegan French Toast

Time: 10 Minutes

Servings: 3

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened soy milk (or other non-dairy milk)

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon ground flaxseeds

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 teaspoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

6-8 slices thick sliced quality bread, such as ciabatta or french

2-3 tablespoons vegan butter or coconut oil for frying

For serving: maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit

Instructions:

1. In a shallow bowl wide enough to dip a slice of bread, whisk together the soy milk, cornstarch, ground flaxseeds, baking powder, cinnamon, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.

2. Heat a small amount of vegan butter or coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Give the batter another quick whisk just before dipping (the cornstarch tends to settle).

3. Dip each side of a bread slice into the batter and let it soak for about 10 seconds. Transfer to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. Add more butter or oil between batches as needed.

4. Serve immediately, topped with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh fruit if desired.
