Ingredients
French Toast Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups oat milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chickpea flour
- 2 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated or ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Coconut oil or vegan butter for frying
- 8-10 lices of crusty bread such as country white bread, ciabatta or sourdough, cut into thick slices (day-old bread is preferable*)
- For serving: pure maple syrup, Berry Compote (optional), or vegan whipped cream (optional)
Simple Berry Compote Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (~180-200g) mixed berries of choice*, fresh or frozen and defrosted
- 1/3 cup (~64g) organic cane sugar (or maple syrup to keep refined sugar-free)
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
Instructions
French Toast Directions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat milk, maple syrup, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, cinnamon, nutmeg, and kosher salt. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish or pie pan.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat with some coconut oil or vegan butter.
- Dunk a slice of bread in the batter for a few seconds on each side, ensuring the bread is soaked. Then flip the bread and repeat.
- Once the skillet is hot, cook each slice of bread for 2 minutes or until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve with pure maple syrup and, if desired, the Berry Compote (recipe below). Or, you can add some vegan whipped cream on top!
Cup of Yum
Simple Berry Compote Directions
- Place the berries, sugar, and orange juice in a saucepan, and cook on medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes, gently smashing down the berries as the mixture cooks. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 10 minutes until thick and jammy.
- You can prepare the compote in advance and store in the fridge.
Notes
- * If you don’t have day-old bread, here’s how to quickly dry out your bread slices. Place your bread slices on a wire rack in the oven at 300°F/150°C and bake for 6-8 minutes per side.
