Vegan French Toast with Caramelized Bananas
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 2.5 tablespoons water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- bread (for 4 slices)
- coconut oil (for cooking)
- 1 banana
- maple syrup
Preparation
Make a flax egg in a small bowl by combining 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons water, mix together, and let it sit to thicken for 5 minutes. You can substitute with a regular egg if desired.
While the flax egg thickens, in a larger bowl, combine 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon coconut sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Add the flax egg to the mixture and stir everything together with a fork or whisk.
Let slices of bread soak in the mixture.
Cook the soaked bread in coconut oil over low to medium heat for a few minutes on each side.
For the caramelized bananas: slice a banana into coins, sprinkle with cinnamon, and cook in a pan with coconut oil for 30 seconds on each side.
Top the French toast with the caramelized bananas and maple syrup.
