Vegan French Toast Recipe

It was a tough recipe to me to be perfect, but now it's one of my favorite healthy breakfast. Traditional French toast is made by taking thick slabs of white bread and dip them in a sweet egg mixture and frying. It's the same technique, but instead of eggs, I use flaxseed in place of milk, I use almond or soy milk (I prefer almonds) and instead of starchy white bread, I use what is called sprouted grain bread. Available in the freezer box, your grocery store, the bread made with whole grains are allowed to germinate.

Did you know that sprouted grain bread is often referred to as fluoro less because of the way corn is processed, so many people to believe they are gluten free. This is not the case. They contain wheat and gluten is often added for texture, so they are not suitable for a gluten free diet.



Ingredients:


  • 4 slices of sprouted grain bread that Ezekiel thawed ground
  • 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 3 tablespoons hot water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 / 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 cup almond or soy milk
  • Butter for frying

Directions:


Whisk the flaxseed and water in a bowl. Add milk and seasonings and continue whisking until combined. Heat a nonstick pan or thank, add butter. Dip each slice of bread in linen blend (do not soak your bread itself), fry each side until golden brown. Serve with extra butter and syrup
