Ingredients

Servings: 3 servings, 2 slices per serving

6 thick slices of day old white bread
3 tbsp. vegan butter
1 3/4 cups soy milk (or 1 cup coconut milk with 3/4 cup soy milk for a richer flavor)
3 tbsp. Ener-G Egg Replacer (or other similar substitute)
2 tbsp. maple syrup
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Optional Ingredients

1 cup fresh berries
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup shaved coconut

Steps

1
Heat a nonstick or clad-iron skillet on your stove at medium heat.
2
Mix together the milk, egg replacer, maple syrup, and vanilla in a large bowl.
3
Melt the butter to the skillet over medium heat.
4
Dip the bread into the milk mixture, dousing it completely on both sides.

Immediately place the bread into the hot skillet, browning both sides (about two minutes per side). Use a spatula to turn the bread over.
6
Remove the French toast from the pan using the spatula and place on a plate to cool.
7
Add fresh berries, shaved coconut, or a drizzle of warm maple syrup, if desired.
