Ingredients

Scale

Batter Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup egg substitute
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural sweetener (maple syrup or agave)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Main Ingredients

  • 4–6 thick slices of your favorite bread (e.g., brioche, challah)
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon

Optional Toppings

  • Fresh berries
  • Maple syrup (natural)
  • Chopped toasted nuts or seeds
  • Orange zest
  • Cardamom
  • Plant-based chocolate chips
  • Avocado slices
  • Herbs
  • Plant-based yogurt
  • Powdered natural sweetener

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, egg substitute, vanilla extract (natural), cinnamon (natural), natural sweetener, and natural gelling agent until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring even soaking without becoming too soggy. Let excess batter drip off gently before cooking.
  3. Cook the French Toast: Preheat a non-stick pan or skillet to medium heat. Cook each slice for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
  4. Prepare Smoked Turkey Bacon: While the French Toast cooks, pan-fry smoked turkey bacon until crispy and smoky to complement the sweet toast.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Plate French Toast with smoked turkey bacon on the side. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy a flavorful, satisfying breakfast.

Notes

  • Choose thick bread slices like brioche or challah to hold the batter without falling apart.
  • Allow bread enough time to soak up the batter for a tender interior texture.
  • Cook on medium heat to ensure even cooking and a perfect crust.
  • Use a natural gelling agent to add richness and custard-like texture.
  • Rest cooked French Toast on a wire rack to maintain crispiness.
