Vegans can enjoy French Toast! This recipe can be made with any kind of bread, but I have to say that the Pumpkin Currant bread I had stashed in my freezer from last falls pumpkin crop, was pretty damn divine.
Nut Milk French Toast
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Nut or Nut Butter (I used tahini, but, other options could be peanut butter, cashew, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds)
4 tb oil
1 ts salt
1.5 cups hot water
5 or so slices of bread
optional:
a little bit of cinnamon
a little bit of vanillia extract
a little bit of milled flax seed
1 or 2 tb maple sugar (or other sweetener)
What to do?
Put the water and the nut /butter together in the blender. You can soak for a minute, or over night depending on the softness of your nut choice. Blend water and nut mixture a bit then add all other ingredients EXCEPT the bread and 2 tb of oil (which will be used for slicking the toasting pan).
Once blended well, pour the mixture out into a bowl appropriate for dipping the bread slices into. Dip and flip and soak bread slices.
Heat pan to a medium high heat, add a little oil, then toast up your soggy nutty bread. Do not try to garden or get into a deep conversation while you should be keeping your eye on flipping the toast. Flip toast. voilĂ . toast. French vegan style.
Serve with soy free Earth Balance 'butter' and locally tapped Maple Syrup.
