Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 0.5 cup Apple cider
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 6 slices Thick slices of bread (preferably stale or day-old, vegan-friendly)
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter (for frying)
- 1 medium Apple (thinly sliced, for topping)
- to taste Additional maple syrup (for serving)
- to taste Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, apple cider, ground flaxseed, all-purpose flour, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the flaxseed to thicken slightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of vegan butter to grease the surface.
Dip a slice of bread into the prepared batter, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly saturated.
Place the battered bread slice onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more vegan butter as needed between batches.
Once all slices are cooked, plate the French toast and top with thinly sliced apples.
Drizzle with additional maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
