Vegan French Toast

Cinnamon and spice and everything nice.

Cinnamon has numerous health benefits, such as supporting gut health and helping manage blood pressure; it is antiviral, antibacterial, anti-fungal, and aids in lowering blood sugar.

Flax seeds are loaded with nutrients and are high in omega-3 fats. Grown since the beginning of civilization, flax seeds are one of the oldest crops. There are two types, brown and golden, which are equally nutritious.

9 ingredients and 10 minutes

• 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk [or other non-dairy milk]

• 1/4 cup cornstarch [key to deliciousness]

• 1 tsp ground flaxseeds

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 2 tsp pure maple syrup

• 6-8 slices thick-sliced quality vegan bread [12-grain will work, our preference ciabatta]

• 2-3 Tab vegan butter or coconut oil for frying

  Topping Options: maple syrup, grilled bananas, sliced fruit, nuts, raspberry reduction, peanut butter, options are endless

  Instructions

• Whisk milk, cornstarch, ground flaxseeds, baking powder, cinnamon, maple syrup, and vanilla in a shallow bowl.

• Add a little bit of vegan butter or coconut oil to a griddle or pan over medium-high heat and melt.

• Whisk the batter again right before dipping bread, as the cornstarch will settle to the bottom of the bowl.

• Dip each side of the bread in the batter and let soak for about 10 seconds, then add the bread to the griddle/pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
