Vegan French Toast
Author:Your brunch dreams are about to come true with THE best Vegan French Toast ever. It's soft, sweet, and golden with a texture just like French Toast made with eggs. Made quickly and easily with regular pantry ingredients, in under 15 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 mls) dairy-free milk
- 4½ oz (130 grams) extra firm tofu (about ½ a cup that is very packed in)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons sugar , cane, turbinado or white (not brown or coconut sugar)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon OPTIONAL vegan butter , plus a little extra for brushing on the griddle/pan
- 6 thick slices crusty, sturdy, white bread , it should be a couple of days old (use gluten-free bread if necessary)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add everything except the bread to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
- Preheat a griddle or a pan over a medium/low heat.
- Brush the griddle/pan with a little vegan butter (oil can be used instead but butter tastes better).
- Pour the blended 'custard' into a wide bowl and dip the bread in it. Leave it to sit for around 20 seconds then turn over and leave for another 20 seconds. Make sure all areas are covered, then lift it out and quickly dip the crust around the edges.
- Carefully place the custardy bread slices onto the preheated griddle or pan. Cook for around 4-5 minutes or until deeply golden, then flip carefully and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until deeply golden. Try not to move it or peek until a nice crust has formed on each side.
- Remove from the pan and serve immediately or keep warm on a plate in a low oven until the entire batch is ready.
NOTES
Store leftover French toast slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in a hot pan or toaster. Leftover custard can also be kept in a sealed container or jar in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
