Ingredients
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp espresso powder
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Pinch sea salt
- Coconut oil
- 10 pieces dry crusty bread
- Vegan whipped cream for topping
- Maple syrup for topping
Instructions
- Combine the ground flax and almond milk and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until it thickens up just a bit.
- Add in the cinnamon, nutmeg, espresso powder, ginger, clove, pepper, vanilla, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the coconut oil.
- Quickly dip both sides of your bread in the espresso milk.
- Place it on the pan and toast on each side for 2 to 3 minutes. It's ready once it flips easily without sticking.
- Serve with whipped cream and maple syrup on top. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to use thick, crusty bread (day-old bread is perfect!), and don't let it soak up too much of the espresso milk.
- For a crisp, golden vegan French toast, use unsalted butter (vegan, of course) instead of oil. Let the butter heat up over medium-low heat, and always add some extra butter to the pan after toasting each bread.
- Besides the classic maple syrup topping, this espresso French toast will also be delicious with cashew butter, strawberry jam, powdered sugar, vegan caramel sauce, pecans, fresh raspberries, chocolate shavings, or even vanilla bean ice cream!
