Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Soft tofu
- 120 ml Unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 6 slices Stale bread (thick slices, preferably vegan-friendly)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or vegan butter (for frying)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 1 serving Fresh fruit or syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Add the soft tofu, plant-based milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth to create the custard.
Pour the blended mixture into a shallow dish wide enough to fit your bread slices.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or vegan butter.
Dip a slice of bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly soggy.
Place the coated bread slice onto the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more coconut oil or vegan butter to the skillet as needed.
Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm until all slices are done.
Garnish with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or syrup, as desired, and serve immediately.
