Description
A dairy-free French toast recipe that’s simple, flavorful, and perfect for breakfast, made with milk substitutes or water for a light yet satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of slightly stale bread (brioche, sourdough, or gluten-free options work well)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk substitute: oat, soy, or water with a splash of vanilla)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or sugar (optional for sweetness)
- 1–2 tbsp coconut oil or butter alternative for cooking
- Toppings: fresh fruit, maple syrup, or powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. - Dip the Bread
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil. Dip each bread slice into the batter, coating both sides evenly. Let excess drip off. - Cook the French Toast
Place the coated bread slices on the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning. - Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
