Vegan Cinnamon Apple French Toast

A chilly morning calls for french toast. Topping it with cinnamon green apple gives it a tart sweetness that amps up this recipe in the delish department.

It’s important to not soak the bread too long-it will fall apart. 15-30 seconds is just fine. Don’t heat your pan too high. You want to let the bread get a nice crispy edge, but not burn. Enjoy.

Ingredients

French Toast

2 tablespoons vegan butter or coconut oil (any oil will do if you don’t have either of these, but vegan butter tastes best!)

1 15 oz can coconut milk

1 cup vanilla almond milk

¼ cup maple syrup (optional, but recommended)

1 teaspoon vanilla

pinch salt

6-8 pieces of thickly cut sourdough bread

Cinnamon Apples

1 tablespoon coconut oil

2 medium apples, cored and thinly sliced

1 teaspoon cinnamon

pinch salt

2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

French Toast

In a blender, add coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt.

Blend well for about 15 seconds.

Put the mixture in a 9″ x 9″ baking dish or wide mixing bowl.

Place 1-2 thick slices of bread in the container and allow to soak for about 30 seconds.

Meanwhile, begin to heat a wide non-stick skillet (or cast-iron skillet) over medium heat and add the vegan butter.

When the “butter” is melted, add 2 pieces of the soaked sourdough to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom. Flip the bread and cook until the other side is golden brown and a little crispy.

Remove from the heat and serve immediately with the cinnamon apples, maple syrup, and a little more vegan butter.
