What are French toast?
French toast is a classic and beloved dish that is perfect for a delicious breakfast or delicious brunch. Also known as French toast, French toast is made from slices of bread that are dipped in a mixture of eggs, milk, sugar and often some cinnamon, then baked until golden brown and crispy. I wanted to make vegan French toast, so substituting eggs and milk was a challenge.
Making classic French toast is easy and requires only a few ingredients. You can use any type of bread, such as white bread, whole wheat bread or brioche, and slice it. The mixture of eggs, milk, sugar and cinnamon gives the French toast a wonderful sweet taste and a soft, creamy texture.
French toast is also very versatile and can be adapted to different taste preferences. You can experiment with different types of bread, different milks such as whole milk or almond milk, and different flavorings such as vanilla extract or nutmeg. You can also add toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream or even a little powdered sugar.
Another fun aspect of French toast is that it is a great way to breathe new life into old bread. If you have bread that has gotten a little old, French toast can be a wonderful way to use it and turn it into a delicious breakfast. French toast is a timeless classic loved by young and old alike. They are easy to make, versatile and delicious to eat. So what are you waiting for? Get to work in the kitchen and enjoy a delicious serving of French toast at your next breakfast or brunch!
Making vegan French toast
Classic French toast is made with egg and milk, but I found a way to make plant-based French toast. How do you make vegan French toast I hear you thinking? The trick is to replace the egg with mashed banana. This way you still get that nice crispy crust you normally get with the egg. Season the batter with cinnamon and vanilla and you get deliciously sweet French toast. Looking for more plant-based inspiration?

What you need:
2
6 small sandwiches
1 small banana
4 tbsp cornstarch
400 ml oat drink
or other vegetable milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla essence
vegetable butter for frying
250 gr strawberries
+ additional red fruit for garnish
4 tbsp vegetable clotted cream, cottage cheese or dairy spread
What to do:
1
Mash the banana with a fork. Put the cornstarch together with the cinnamon in a bowl and mix with a whisk.
2
Add the vanilla aroma to the oat milk and mix. Now add the wet ingredients to the dry and also add the mashed banana. Beat with a whisk until you have a smooth batter. It may still be quite "watery," which is not a problem.
3
Heat the butter in a frying pan and pass the slices of bread through the batter, one at a time. Place in the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides.
4
Slice the strawberries. Now top the French toast with the vegetable cottage cheese and strawberries and top with the remaining fruit.
