Step by step
- 1
In a shallow dish, whisk together the plant milk, flaxseed meal, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a portion of the vegan butter to melt.
About 1 min

Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly saturated, about 10-15 seconds per side.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Do not let the bread soak too long or it will become soggy.

About 8 min
