If you ask me, this vegan French toast recipe is the perfect breakfast for cozy season. Maybe it’s the warm cinnamon, maybe it’s the carbs, but whatever it is, I think you’ll agree with me that this French toast is amazing. I used to make this recipe by cutting each slice into French toast sticks, so you can also do that. Nowadays I prefer nice thick slices. Either way? Incredible AND easy. Enjoy friends!

Vegan Milk – Any vegan milk works, but a thicker vegan milk like soy milk or cashew milk is preferred. Flax Meal – Ground flax seeds replace the eggs in this French toast recipe PERFECTLY. (Here are more vegan egg substitutes.) Maple Syrup – This is totally optional, but I love the extra sweetness it adds. You can also use any sugar-free sweetener, date syrup, or agave nectar. Vanilla Extract – For some more sweetness/flavour. Cinnamon – What is French toast without a dusting of cinnamon? You could also use nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, or any other kind of “sweet” spice. Thick Sandwich Bread – Something like brioche and sourdough. Vegan Butter or Oil – This is for frying the bread slices, so either one works well. Toppings – Maple syrup, extra cinnamon, and vegan whipped cream are all good ideas! Also berries or any kind.
Vegan whipped cream. This Cashew Whipped Cream is one of my go-to recipes. Maple syrup. It’s great on everything from pancakes, to waffles, to—you guessed it—French toast! Berries. I chose strawberries for my French toast, but blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries would taste great too. Coconut cream. I like to top these off with some Coconut Cream sometimes. Toasted nuts. If you’re feeling extra decadent, you can add candied pecans (or walnuts) on top.
French toast and its batter don’t freeze very well, so it’s best to eat the toast fresh and warm from the pan. Freezing the vegan French toast would probably yield soggy results.
