If you are vegan, you most likely haven’t eaten French toast since making the switch to veganism. French toast is notorious for containing lots of eggs and cow’s milk as well as being fried in butter. It is also very easy to make, crack some eggs, pour some milk, mix it up, dip in bread, fry it, and you have got yourself some toast, french toast. It is a wonderful breakfast food that can be enjoyed any number of ways.
One of the best ways to prepare French toast is, if you can believe it, without the eggs, cow’s milk, and butter. Making vegan French toast is even easier than making traditional French toast because you don’t have to crack all those eggs. If you have gone without French toast for a while, this recipe may have you eating french toast for breakfast three days in a row.
French toast works best with breads that are slightly firmer than the average or a day old. It is possible to use fresh bread with this recipe but fresh bread is more likely to stick to the pan and be a little less crispy. For those with gluten sensitivities, breads made with sprouted grains can be used. Sprouted grain breads generally contain less gluten and are often much easier to digest for those with gluten sensitivities. Non vegans may also enjoy this recipe as well; although vegan french toast doesn’t taste like traditional French toast, it’s still yummy. Especially when drizzled with maple syrup.
