Thick-Cut Vegan French Toast
This recipe uses a simple blend of plant milk and flour or liquid plant egg, spiced with cinnamon, to create a silky batter that coats thick bread perfectly.
INGREDIENTS
A. Option 1: Flour Batter
- 1 1/2 cups Non-Dairy Milk (Almond or Oat recommended for richness)
- 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp Organic Raw Cane Sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg (optional, for deeper flavor)
- Pinch of Turmeric (optional, for a light yellow "egg" color)
- 1/4 tsp Salt
B. Option 2 (Rich & Custardy): Just Egg Plant-Based Liquid Egg
Replace the flour and turmeric with 1/2 cup "Just Egg" Plant-Based Liquid Egg. Keep the non-dairy milk (reduce to 1 cup), sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
C. Bread & Cooking
- 8 slices Thick-Cut Bread (Challah, Brioche, or Texas Toast style, day-old is best - check ingredient list for animal products)
- 1-2 tbsp Vegan Butter or Oil (for cooking)
D. Serving Suggestions
- Maple Syrup
- Fresh Berries
- Powdered Sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: PREPARE THE BATTER
- Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a shallow dish (like a pie plate or casserole dish), whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric (if using), and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Slowly whisk in the non-dairy milk and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and lump-free. The consistency should be thin, but thick enough to coat the bread.
- For Option 2: Whisk the "Just Egg" liquid with the non-dairy milk, sugar, vanilla, and spices until well combined. This version will have a naturally golden "egg" color.
- Heat Griddle: Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of vegan butter or oil to coat the surface.
- Soak Bread: Working one slice at a time, gently dip the thick-cut bread into the batter. Turn to coat both sides completely. Do not soak for too long (10-15 seconds per side is enough) or the bread will fall apart.
- Cook: Place the soaked bread directly onto the hot griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the exterior is golden brown and crispy and the inside is cooked through. Add more butter to the griddle as needed for subsequent batches.
- Serve: Transfer the finished slices to plates. Dust immediately with powdered sugar and serve hot with maple syrup and fresh berries. Enjoy!
