Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Sea salt, a tiny pinch
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup, plus more for serving
Other
- Coconut oil, for the pan
- 4 to 6 thick slices bread, slightly stale
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, nutritional yeast, cinnamon, baking powder, and a tiny pinch of sea salt until fully combined. Add the unsweetened almond milk and maple syrup, whisking until smooth and well incorporated. Pour this mixture into a shallow baking dish for easy dipping.
- Heat the skillet: Place a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, brush it lightly with coconut oil to prevent sticking and to add flavor.
- Dip the bread: Take each slice of slightly stale bread and dip it into the almond milk mixture, coating both sides fully. Allow any excess batter to drip off before cooking.
- Cook the French toast: Place the coated bread slices into the preheated skillet. Cook each side for about 2 minutes or until a golden brown crust forms. Adjust the heat to low as necessary to ensure the bread cooks through without burning. Work in batches if needed, brushing the skillet with more coconut oil between batches for best results.
- Serve: Serve the vegan French toast warm, drizzled with additional maple syrup as desired.
Notes
- Use slightly stale bread for best absorption without becoming soggy.
- Adjust cinnamon according to taste preference for a spicier or milder flavor.
- Ensure skillet is well-coated with coconut oil to avoid sticking.
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled to serve a larger group.
- Maple syrup is recommended as a natural sweetener to keep the recipe vegan and refined sugar-free.
