Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 slices bread
- 1 cup plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, cornstarch, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined to form a thick, custard-like batter.
- Dip the bread: Take each slice of bread and dip it into the batter, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly soaked to avoid sogginess.
- Cook the French toast: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Place the coated bread slices on the skillet and cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve warm: Remove from the skillet and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, additional maple syrup, or powdered sugar.
Notes
- Use slightly stale bread for better absorption without falling apart.
- Adjust the thickness of the batter with more plant-based milk if too thick or add a bit more cornstarch if too thin.
- Non-stick or well-seasoned skillet is recommended to prevent sticking.
- This recipe serves 3-4 people depending on slice size and appetite.
- Feel free to customize by adding nutmeg or orange zest for extra flavor.
