Ingredients

1 cup vegan milk any vegan milk works
1 tablespoon flax meal ground flax seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional to add)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
6 slices thick sandwich bread like brioche or sourdough (you can also cut into slices)
2 tablespoons vegan butter or oil
for topping, Maple syrup also Extra cinnamon, for sprinkling vegan chipped cream*, for topping

Instructions

In a bowl, add the vegan milk, maple syrup (optional), flax meal, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Whisk together vigorously and place in your freezer for the batter to set up and get thicker for 15 minutes.
When the batter is thicker, whisk again.
Heat 2-3 tablespoons vegan butter (or oil) in a pan or on a griddle over medium-high heat until hot until melted.
Dip the soaked slices into the batter until coated (do NOT soak them), and place in the pan to pan fry. Pan fry on each side for 3 to 5 minutes until it is crispy on the outside, then turn over and pan-fry on the other side for another 3 to 5 minutes. I always start with one to test the heat, then you can adjust accordingly.
Add more butter as needed and continue to cook the extra slices.
Serve immediately topped with maple syrup, dusted with cinnamon and vegan whipped cream. Enjoy!

Notes

Though vegan French toast is best when fresh, you can keep leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days in the fridge. When you want to warm them up again, heat them in a skillet over medium heat, in the microwave, or in your toaster oven.
