Vegan Tofu Cinnamon French Toast
Ingredients
- 8 slices firm bread, substitute with gluten-free bread
- 1 cup dairy-free milk, almond used
- 1 Tbsp ground flax seed
- 1/2 cup firm or extra firm tofu, drained and patted dry
- 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp maple or agave syrup
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp dairy-free butter, for frying or spray oil
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place bread slices on a baking pan and bake for 5 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine milk, flax seed, tofu, cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup, and salt. Pulse until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture into a large shallow bowl and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to thicken.
Preheat a large frying pan on medium heat and grease with one teaspoon of dairy-free butter or spray oil.
Remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Dip the bread slices in the batter, covering both sides, and gently shake off excess batter.
Fry each side for about 3 minutes or until crispy and brown. Repeat until all slices are cooked.
Top the French toast with fried apples, cinnamon, and drizzled maple syrup.
Tips
This recipe uses tofu to create a thick batter and add plant-based protein, making it a nutritious vegan breakfast option.
