French toast is one of those things which seems impossible to make vegan. Can you get still have that eggy texture? Can you make French toast without using dairy products?
Spoiler alert: you CAN.
My vegan French toast is the perfect sweet and healthy breakfast. Meaning it is totally acceptable to enjoy every day of the week!
how to make vegan French toast
The main ingredient we are replacing in this recipe is eggs (which are not vegan). To recreate that thick eggy texture to our French toast batter, we are using ground flax seeds.
We’ll mix together ground flaxseeds with dairy-free milk, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract, to form a tasty French toast batter. Then we’ll dunk in some bread and fry until golden and crisp!

The best thing about French toast – all the tasty toppings! Here’s a few ways to top your French toast:
