Vegan French Toast

This recipe comes from Nora Cooks and uses Flax and corn starch as the egg replacer. I think you can make vegan French toast with a number of different egg replacers in addition to this. This comes out very nicely. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare and serves about 3-4 people.

Ingredients

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

• 1/4 cup cornstarch

• 1 tsp ground flaxseeds

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 2 tsp maple syrup

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 6-8 slices of thick quality bread, such as french or ciabatta*

• 2-3 Tbsp vegan butter or coconut oil for frying

• for serving: maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit

Instructions

1. In a wide shallow bowl, whisk together the soy milk, cornstarch, ground flaxseeds, baking powder, cinnamon, maple syrup and vanilla

2. Add some of the vegan butter or coconut oil to a pan over a medium-high heat and melt. Whisk the batter again right before dipping the bread as the cornstarch will settle into the bottom of the bowl.

3. Dip each side of the bread into the batter and let soak for 10 sec (unless you are using thinner sliced bread. Then dip quickly). Add the bread to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Add more vegan butter or coconut oil to the pan between slices as needed.

4. Serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar and fresh fruit as desired. I dusted the top with a little powdered sugar. Delicious!
