Vegan French Toast Recipe for Christmas
Description
The Vegan French Toast Recipe for Christmas features cubed French bread soaked in a blend of plant-based milk, ground flaxseed, nutritional yeast, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, creating a flavorful custard alternative without eggs. Baking the bread cubes topped with cranberries allows the berries to soften and mildly burst, adding fresh acidity. The cranberry maple syrup is made by boiling fresh or frozen cranberries with maple syrup, then blending it smooth for a vibrant, sweet-tart topping.
This dish yields a tender, moist texture contrasted by occasional soft cranberry bursts and the underlying cinnamon spice. It is baked uncovered to set the custard and gently caramelize the bread edges. The recipe includes flexibility to soak overnight for a more developed texture and flavor.
Serving this vegan French toast warm alongside the bright cranberry syrup provides a festive breakfast option suitable for those avoiding eggs or dairy. The berry syrup also complements the cinnamon and nutritional yeast notes in the base soak.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread cut into large cubes
- 2 ½ cups plant-based milk almond milk works great!, vegan milk of choice
- 3 tablespoons Flaxseed ground
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- sea salt a pinch
- 1 ½ cups Cranberry fresh or frozen
Cranberry Maple Syrup
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup Cranberry fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Grease a casserole dish with a little coconut oil. Place the bread cubes in a large bowl.
- Whisk the milk, ground flax, nutritional yeast, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt in a medium-sized bowl. Pour over the bread cubes and toss gently to coat. Transfer the bread cubes to the casserole dish. Scatter the cranberries over top and press the bread down gently. You can either bake the French toast right away or cover it and leave it in your fridge overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 350 Fahrenheit. Bake the French toast, uncovered, in the oven for 45 minutes. Let it stand for 5 minutes before you cut into it.
- While the French toast is baking, make the cranberry syrup. Bring the syrup and cranberries to a boil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Let it continue to boil until the cranberries start to pop, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Note: if you do not have a high-powered blender, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solid pieces.
- Serve the French toast with the cranberry syrup on the side for everyone to pour themselves.
