Vegan French Toast: Deliciously Dairy & Egg-Free!
How to Make Delicious Vegan French Toast (No Milk or Eggs!)
Hi everyone, it’s Brina! I’m excited to share a special French toast recipe today. Unlike traditional French toast, this version uses soy milk and ripe bananas instead of dairy milk and eggs, making it a healthy and delicious treat for everyone. Enjoy the perfect balance of crispy exterior and moist, flavorful interior right in your own kitchen!
Key Ingredients- 2 slices of bread or whole wheat bread (about 1.5-2cm thick)
- 1/2 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup (120ml) soy milk (plain or unsweetened)
- A little cooking oil or coconut oil (for greasing the pan)
- A pinch of sugar (for mashing the banana, to taste)
- A pinch of cinnamon powder (for batter and topping, to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your ingredients for the vegan French toast. Using slightly thicker slices of bread will help them absorb the batter nicely without becoming soggy.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup (120ml) of soy milk and the peeled 1/2 ripe banana. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, adjusting to your preference. Use a fork to mash the banana until smooth, then mix it well with the sugar and cinnamon. This will infuse the batter with the banana’s natural sweetness and aroma.
Step 3
Now, dip the 2 slices of prepared bread into the banana-soy milk mixture.
Step 4
Let the bread soak in the batter, turning it over, for about 30 seconds on each side, totaling approximately 1 minute. Ensure the bread absorbs the liquid well, but be careful not to soak too thin slices, as they might break. Gently shake off any excess batter from the edges.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little cooking oil or coconut oil. Place the batter-coated bread slices onto the hot pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until each side is a beautiful golden brown. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning, which will help achieve a wonderfully crispy texture.
Step 6
Once golden brown and cooked through, transfer the vegan French toast to a serving plate. Arrange it attractively. For an extra touch, drizzle with warm maple syrup or agave syrup, and top with fresh fruit like banana slices and blueberries, plus a sprinkle of cinnamon powder. Enjoy your delicious creation!
