Vegan French Toast
This Vegan French Toast is weekend-morning comfort without the eggs. Thick slices of bread soak in a cinnamon-vanilla batter, then cook until golden on the outside and soft in the middle. Pile on berries, powdered sugar, and maple syrup and it tastes like brunch out.
I love how simple the batter is. Chickpea flour or cornstarch gives it that custard cling, and the skillet does the rest.

The Secret to Custardy Vegan French Toast
Use slightly stale, thick bread so it soaks without falling apart. Don’t drown the slice — a few seconds per side is enough. Medium heat is key. Too hot and the outside burns before the middle sets. A pinch of turmeric gives that warm golden color.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Whisk the plant milk, chickpea flour, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and turmeric until smooth.
- Heat a skillet over medium and add a little vegan butter.
- Dip each slice of bread into the batter for a few seconds per side. Let extra drip off.
- Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Serve stacked with berries, powdered sugar, and maple syrup.
Notes & Tips
- If the batter thickens as it sits, whisk in a splash of plant milk.
- A little extra cinnamon in the batter makes the kitchen smell like a diner.
- Leftover slices reheat well in the toaster.
- Don’t skip the rest of extra batter — soggy bread won’t brown.

Frequently asked questions
What bread works best?
Thick sandwich bread, brioche-style vegan bread, or Texas toast. Thin bread gets soggy.
Can I make it without chickpea flour?
Yes. Use cornstarch or a mashed banana in the batter. Chickpea flour just gives a more eggy texture.
How do I keep it warm for a crowd?
Hold finished slices on a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven while you cook the rest. This Vegan French Toast is golden, cozy, and made for weekend mornings. Berries, maple, and a hot skillet. If you make it, I’d love to hear how it turned out — leave a comment or tag me!
