Ingredients
 

US Customary - Metric

Bread

  • 6-8 thick slices rustic bread

Batter

  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ½ large ripe banana

For Serving

Instructions
 

  • Add the coconut milk, banana, cornstarch, flax meal, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon to a blender. Mix on high until you achieve a smooth consistency. Transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl big enough to fit your bread.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. In the meantime, heat some coconut oil or vegan butter in a non-stick frying pan or griddle on medium. It's very important to have a non-stick pan for this recipe since the batter is quite sticky.
  • Dip each slice of bread in the batter for 10-15 seconds on each side. Be careful not to soak it for too long to prevent soggy French toast.
  • Transfer the bread to the hot pan, and cook on medium for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  • After you flip the slices the first time, cover the pan with a lid to help the inside properly cook. Keep the slices warm in an oven set to 200℉ while you cook the rest.
  • Serve your vegan French toast immediately with vegan whipped cream, fresh fruit, coconut yogurt, vegan butter, maple syrup, etc. Happy eating!

Notes

  • Choose the right bread: Opt for sturdy bread like sourdough or ciabatta. Avoid any bread that’s overly soft since it can become too soggy.
  • Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas are sweeter and easier to blend, which will make the flavor of your vegan French toast much better. Make sure they’re spotty!
  • Blend the batter well: Blend the batter until it's smooth for more even cooking.
  • Don’t soak too long: Dip the bread into the batter but avoid leaving it in too long as it can make the toast soggy.
  • Use a non-stick pan: A non-stick pan makes flipping the toast easier and prevents it from sticking, especially since this batter is stickier than a normal batter.
  • Be patient: Don't rush the cooking process. Give each side time to cook and become golden brown.
  • Nutritional information is a rough estimate and should not be taken as health advice.
