Description

This Vegan Gingerbread French Toast is the perfect way to bring holiday cheer to your breakfast table. Packed with warm spices and a rich, molasses vegan egg custard, it’s a festive twist on the classic everyone will love!


Ingredients

  • 1½ cups non-dairy milk
  • ⅓ cup (40g) chickpea flour
  • 3 tablespoons unsulphured molasses
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1½ teaspoons ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • About 10 slices of stale bread
  • ¼ cup vegan butter, for pan

Instructions

  1. Make the custard. Add the non-dairy milk, chickpea flour, molasses, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt to a shallow bowl or baking dish. Use an immersion blender to blend everything until smooth – we prefer this over whisking to avoid clumps. Alternatively, you can combine everything in a high-speed blender, then pour it into a shallow dish. We prefer this over whisking to avoid clumps.
  2. Prepare your skillet. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and grease with vegan butter. 
  3. Soak the bread. Soak each piece of bread in the custard for about 20-30 seconds on each side. Allow any excess to drip off and place on the buttered skillet. 
  4. Cook for 4 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on them so the molasses and maple syrup don’t burn. When ready, each side should be golden brown. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining bread. 
  5. Serve. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings and breakfast sides. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Gluten-free: If you make the recipe with your favorite gluten-free bread, it will be naturally vegan and gluten-free.
  • Storage: Leftovers will keep for up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Freezing: If you don’t eat your leftover French toast within 5 days, it can be frozen for up to 3 months. We recommend flash-freezing the fresh toast on a baking sheet before placing it in a large freezer bag. This will prevent the slices from sticking together and make it easier to defrost.
