The method

Step by step

  1. 1

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

    About 2 min

    Cook’s note: Ensure the flaxseed meal is fully incorporated to help thicken the batter.

  2. 2

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

    About 1 min

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

  5. 5

    Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

    About 8 min

    Cook’s note: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.

  6. 6

    Repeat with remaining bread slices, adding more vegan butter to the pan as needed.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately with extra maple syrup and fresh berries, if desired.

    About 1 min

Keep it good

Storage

Store leftover vegan French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Reheating

Reheat in a toaster, oven, or microwave until warmed through.
