Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Whole wheat bread, preferably slightly stale
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil or vegan butter (for frying)
- Optional toppings (fresh fruit, powdered sugar, syrup, etc.)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, ground flaxseed, cornstarch, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the flaxseed to thicken and create a batter-like consistency.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, and lightly grease it with coconut oil or vegan butter.
Dip one slice of whole wheat bread into the batter, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Place the coated bread slice onto the preheated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges.
Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining slices of bread, re-greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve the French toast warm, topped with fresh fruit, powdered sugar, syrup, or any toppings of your choice.
