Ingredients
Units
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Main
- 6 slices bread (sturdy bread recommended, but sandwich bread can be used)
For Cooking
- Vegan butter or oil (about 1 tablespoon plus more as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: Whisk together the non-dairy milk, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt in a bowl until smooth. Pour this mixture into a shallow dish, such as a wide bowl or pie dish, for easy dipping.
- Heat the pan: Place a pan on medium heat and add about one tablespoon of vegan butter or oil. Allow it to melt and coat the pan to prevent sticking.
- Dip the bread: Working with two slices at a time, dip each slice of bread on both sides into the prepared mixture. For sturdier bread, let each side soak gently for about 5 seconds to absorb the batter; for softer sandwich bread, a quick dip will suffice.
- Cook the french toast: Once the pan is hot, place the dipped slices in the pan. Cook each slice on both sides until they are golden brown, adding more vegan butter or oil as needed for subsequent batches.
- Serve warm: Remove the french toast from the pan and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
Notes
- Use unsweetened non-dairy milk to control sweetness levels.
- Sturdier breads like sourdough or brioche work best to avoid sogginess, but soft sandwich bread can also be used.
- Add more cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg for extra spice if desired.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour and bread with gluten-free alternatives.
