Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat)
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 8 slices Stale bread slices (preferably thick slices like sourdough or French bread)
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter or neutral oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a shallow, wide mixing bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, pumpkin puree, ground flaxseed, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of salt.
Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flaxseed to thicken slightly.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with vegan butter or oil.
Dip one slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
Place the coated bread onto the preheated skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp.
Repeat with the remaining bread slices, re-greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or a dollop of vegan whipped cream.
