Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Sourdough bread
- 1 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, oat)
- 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour (or all-purpose gluten-free flour)
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter or neutral oil (for cooking)
- 2 teaspoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 1 cup Fresh fruit or maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, chickpea flour, ground flaxseed, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth. Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes so the flaxseed can thicken the mixture.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegan butter or neutral oil and spread it evenly.
Dip one slice of sourdough bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let the excess batter drip back into the bowl.
Place the coated bread slice onto the hot skillet. Repeat for as many slices as your skillet can accommodate without overcrowding.
Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Remove the cooked French toast slices from the skillet and place them on a plate. Repeat the process, adding more vegan butter or oil as needed, until all slices are cooked.
Serve the vegan sourdough French toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar (if using) and topped with fresh fruit or drizzled with maple syrup, if desired.
