Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- In a shallow mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly thickened.
- Cut each slice of bread into 3-4 long strips to create French toast sticks.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of plant-based oil.
- Dip each bread stick into the almond milk mixture, ensuring each side is thoroughly coated but not soaked through.
- Place the coated bread sticks onto the heated skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Allow to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
- Dust with additional cinnamon if desired and serve warm with maple syrup for dipping.
- For best texture, use slightly stale or day-old bread as it will absorb the mixture more effectively.
Tips
- Choose the Right Bread: For the best texture, opt for slightly stale or day-old bread. It absorbs the almond milk mixture more effectively, resulting in a perfect balance of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
- Customize Your Flavors: Feel free to experiment with different spices! A pinch of nutmeg or a dash of vanilla extract can add an extra layer of flavor to your French toast sticks.
- Cook in Batches: To ensure even cooking, avoid overcrowding the skillet. Cook in batches if necessary, allowing each stick to get the golden-brown perfection it deserves.
- Perfectly Crisp: Make sure your skillet is preheated before adding the bread sticks. This helps achieve that desired crispy texture and prevents sticking.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your French toast sticks with fresh fruit, nut butter, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra special touch!
