Vegan French Toast Sticks Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes to thicken)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 6-8 slices of bread (thick slices work best, such as Texas toast or sourdough)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegan butter (for frying)
- Powdered sugar or additional maple syrup for serving (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Flax Egg:
- In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
-
Make the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, thickened flax egg, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and maple syrup until well combined.
-
Slice the Bread:
- Cut each slice of bread into strips (about 1-2 inches wide) to create French toast sticks.
-
Dip the Bread:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little coconut oil or vegan butter.
- Dip each bread stick into the batter, making sure to coat it well but not soak it. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
-
Cook the French Toast Sticks:
- Place the coated bread sticks in the heated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to add more oil or butter to the skillet as you cook the remaining sticks.
-
Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the French toast sticks from the skillet and serve warm. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
Tips:
- Bread Options: Use your favorite type of bread. Gluten-free bread works well too if you need a gluten-free option.
- Toppings: Feel free to add toppings like fresh fruit, nut butter, or dairy-free yogurt for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just give it a good stir before using.
Enjoy your Vegan French Toast Sticks! They’re a delightful and satisfying breakfast that everyone will love!
