Why you’ll love this vegan french toast recipe:
- Traditionally, french toast is made with eggs, which obviously isn’t vegan-friendly. This recipe uses tofu to replace the eggs but create a similar taste – and perhaps, an even better taste! Plus, it boosts the protein value of your french toast.
- This recipe contains more protein than most vegan-french toasts, because of the tofu. It has about 10 grams of protein per serving, along with 5 grams of fat and 38 grams of carbs – making it a very well-balanced meal to start your day.
How to make this french toast perfect:
- Use a good bread: As you probably know, a big part of making good french toast is using good bread (duh!). And, while any bread can technically be used for this french toast recipe, I recommend using sourdough or brioche – sliced thick at around 1 inch. These breads are sturdy but able to absorb liquid to create the perfect toast.
- Use dry bread: This recipe tastes the best when you use bread that is at least two days old. Fresher bread won’t absorb liquid as well. If you only have fresh bread, don’t worry! You can set it out for a few hours before making this recipe to allow the bread to dry out a bit.
- Don’t oversoak the bread: Only soak the bread in the mixture for 20 seconds on each side. If you leave the bread in longer than that, it will likely become too soggy and won’t produce a well-balanced crispy, but soft toast.
- Top as desired: I love blueberries on my french toast – so that’s usually my go-to. But there are a lot of delicious options you could use to top this toast: peanut butter, syrup, strawberries, bananas, cinnamon, avocado and even powdered sugar.
