Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant milk almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk work well
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch or chickpea flour for binding
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed optional, for extra structure
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 –8 slices of thick slightly stale bread (sourdough, brioche-style, or Texas toast)
  • Vegan butter or neutral oil for frying

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh berries or banana slices
  • Maple syrup
  • Coconut whipped cream
  • Chopped nuts or seeds
  • Vegan chocolate chips or a dusting of powdered sugar

Instructions

Make the Batter:

  • In a shallow bowl or dish, whisk together plant milk, cornstarch, flaxseed (if using), maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to slightly thicken.

Dip the Bread:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add vegan butter or oil. Dip each slice of bread into the batter for about 5 seconds on each side — don’t let it soak too long or it’ll fall apart.

Cook to Perfection:

  • Place the dipped bread in the hot skillet and cook 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Serve Warm:

  • Stack high and top with your favorite toppings — syrup, berries, whipped coconut cream, or a drizzle of nut butter.

🌞 Pro Tips

  • Slightly stale or day-old bread works best — it holds up to the batter without getting soggy.
  • Add a little orange zest or nutmeg to the batter for extra flair.
  • Double the batch and keep warm in the oven (at 100°C / 200°F) if feeding a crowd.
