What is french toast

French toast is a breakfast dish made by soaking a piece of bread in beaten eggs then pan-frying it in butter or oil. Many cultures have variants on french toast; it may be served as a dessert with toppings such as powdered sugar or syrup, combined with fruits such as bananas and strawberries, or served alongside savory items such as bacon. In some cases, cinnamon or sugar is added to the flavor and sweetened. This recipe is for vegan french toast.

Choose Your Bread

French toast originated in France as a way to use stale bread. Though it’s essential to use a good-quality loaf of bread for any toast, you may need to be incredibly picky when making vegan french toast.

For example, many gluten-free slices of bread may be too crumbly for a successful vegan french toast experience. Look for a piece of bread that can hold its shape when soaked. This recipe is perfect for sandwich bread that’s a bit dry or Ezequiel bread made with whole grains and legumes.

Add Bananas to the mix

For a vegan take on a classic, swap regular milk for non-dairy alternatives: soy milk, almond milk, or even oat milk works perfectly here. Not only will you avoid cholesterol and animal fats, but you’ll also add all the healthy benefits of bananas.

🔥 Important note 🔥

It is really important to use a non stick pan or griddle when making this vegan banana french toast as the coating could stick really easyily to the bottom.

This is not your basic french toast recipe so it is important to use a tablespoon of butter or oil to coat the pan each time you add a slice of bread.
