Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 slices thick cut bread (or dry day-old bread) see notes
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut oil or vegan butter for pan-frying
  • 1 cup unsweetened and unflavored almond milk (or plant milk of choice)
  • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons ground flaxseed
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Whisk batter mixture:

    Combine almond milk, cornstarch, ground flaxseed, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a shallow dish and whisk thoroughly. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes so it can thicken.

  2. Melt fat in skillet:

    Heat a small amount of coconut oil or vegan butter in a skillet over low heat until melted.

  3. Coat bread slices:

    Submerge one side of a bread slice into the batter, then flip and coat the other side. (Refer to notes regarding bread consistency.)

  4. Cook until golden:

    Transfer the coated bread directly to the preheated, greased pan. Cook over medium heat, flipping once, until each side is golden brown and crisp, roughly 3-4 minutes per side.
