Your New Favorite Vegan Breakfast
Nutritional yeast is a very underrated (and still somewhat secret) kitchen wonder. (Find out what the heck nutritional yeast is here!) It can be so many things—cheesy deliciousness in savory dishes or a flavor depth creator in sweet recipes. Seriously, nutritional yeast makes this eggless French toast possible (and totally delicious). It transforms the simple mixture of milk, sugar, and spices into a savory alternative to a traditionally egg-based dish. This recipe is just as easy as the original, and it turns out golden brown and crispy on the inside with a perfectly tender interior. Serve it with all your favorite toppings for the ultimate egg-free breakfast or brunch!
You Only Need 8 Ingredients
Dairy-Free Milk: Use plain or vanilla soy or almond milk (or whatever you have on hand). For an even tastier recipe, make your own almond milk! Flour: Flour helps to thicken the “egg” mixture. We’ll just use all-purpose. Nutritional Yeast: The secret ingredient to this eggless French toast recipe! The best (and cheapest) place to find nutritional yeast is at bulk food stores. Otherwise, you can easily order this ingredient online. Flavor Makers: Brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt help transform this humble mixture into a crave-worthy vegan breakfast. Feel free to use other spices like nutmeg, cardamom, or pumpkin spice! Bread: And, of course, the bread. Stale bread is best, but use whatever bread you have on hand. I like to use sturdy white sandwich bread, but thick slabs of sourdough or wheat bread work great.
Making Egg-Free French Toast Is A Total Breeze
Step 1: Coat The BreadOnce combined, dip your bread into the batter to coat both sides. Step 2: Cook The BreadThen, simply sauté the dipped bread slices in a greased non-stick skillet until golden brown and slightly crispy! Step 3: Serve Your ToastServe up this vegan French toast with a slab of margarine, maple syrup, and/or powdered sugar (along with fresh berries or any fruit you have on hand). Bon Appétit!
Recipe Tips
Use The Right Bread: This is arguably the most important ingredient! Aim for sturdy bread with a soft crust (egg-free challah or brioche bread are delish!). Steer clear of rustic loaves with thick, crunchy crusts or large holes. Stir Between: To keep the flavors and nutritional yeast evenly dispersed, give the “egg” mixture a good whisk in between dipping bread slices. Adjust the Heat: If you find your eggless French toast slices are burning on the outside before fully cooking on the inside, lower the heat slightly before adding the next batch.
