Orange and cinnamon: an unlikely duo of flavor, but an amazing one in this vegan french toast recipe; the nostril-ensnaring aroma from the ground cinnamon compliments the acidic and sharp but also modestly sweet juice of the orange. And together, they create a truly tasty confluence of sheer breakfast-y bliss that’ll transport your vegan french toast to a new plane of culinary existence.
6 - 8slices ofsourdough or bread (or whatever kind you'd like),moderately dried out
Coupletablespoonscoconut oil or vegan butter,for frying
Instructions
Heat about ½ tablespoon of coconut oil or vegan butter in a cast-iron pan just under medium heat.
Next, combine the soy milk, maple syrup, orange zest and juice, nutritional yeast, ground cinnamon and salt in a dish big enough to dip your slices of bread in, and then whisk until well combined.
After that's done, dip your bread a couple times on each side. Saturate it until it's well soaked through.
Then, 1 to 2 at a time depending on your skillet size, fry the battered french toast slices in the cast-iron pan for about 2 - 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown around the edges and crispy in the middle. Remember to replenish the oil in the pan for each batch of french toast that you fry.Enjoy with some vegan butter, coconut yogurt, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.
