Introduction

French toast without egg? You won’t miss them with this easy and delicious vegan French toast recipe. It’s crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and makes the perfect breakfast – vegan or not.

The best French toast recipes use top quality bread as a base for the toast and ours is no exception! Using our delicious Sourdough Vienna loaf, we also add vanilla and cinnamon to the mix, making this a tasty alternative to regular French toast. Choose your own adventure with your favourite milk substitute, drizzle with maple syrup and blueberries and you’ve got a delicious breakfast or brunch to rival the restaurants!

Recipe FAQs

You’ll know when your vegan French toast is cooked when it’s brown and crispy on the outside, just like with regular French toast. The centre should also be set and shouldn’t be runny when you cut it.

The secret to perfectly crunchy vegan French toast is to add some sort of flour, like corn flour or chickpea flour, as this helps it crisp up in the pan. It won’t affect the inside of the bread though, which will remain soft and creamy.

If the bread you’ve used as a base for your vegan French toast is tasteless, it won’t do your breakfast any favours. Try using a sourdough loaf, and make sure that the bread is a little stale so it can soak up the flavour of the milk mixture.
