Instructions

In a large shallow bowl or dish, mix together the almond milk, flax meal, cinnamon, vanilla, and maple syrup (if using). Set aside and let sit for at least 5 minutes.
While the almond milk mixture is resting, slice your bread into thick slices.
Next, heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.
Give the batter a good stir to make sure all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Then quickly dip each side of your bread into the mixture and tap off any extra. Don’t soak the bread. If you’re making this in batches, wait until you’re ready to cook the bread before dipping it.
Melt 2-3 tablespoons of the vegan butter or oil in the pan, and then add your prepared bread slices. Cook until the outside of the bread is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes on each side. Work in batches if needed.
When you’re done cooking, just add your toppings, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Bread: Use thick slices of rustic, stale bread like ciabatta, and check the label to make sure it’s vegan. For gluten-free French toast, use a thick-sliced gluten-free bread.

Pan: A non-stick pan or griddle works best. Cook over medium to medium-high heat so the outside doesn’t brown before the inside cooks.

Storage: This vegan French toast is best served immediately. But if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container for 2-3 days in the fridge. When you want to eat them, just pop the slices into a toaster oven and cook until warmed through.
