Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup non-dairy milk almond, soy, oat, etc.
  • 2 tbsp chickpea flour or cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast optional, for eggy flavor
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 slices of thick bread preferably a day or two old
  • Vegan butter or coconut oil for greasing skillet

Method
 

  1. In a shallow bowl or dish, whisk together the non-dairy milk, chickpea flour, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutritional yeast (if using).
  2. Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.
  3. Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  4. Cook the soaked bread slices for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve immediately with fresh fruit, powdered sugar, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Slightly stale bread works best to avoid sogginess.
Chickpea flour helps mimic the eggy texture, but cornstarch or all-purpose flour also works.
Add a pinch of turmeric for a yellow, eggy color (optional).
