Stuffed Vegan French Toast

Sep 25, 2010 by lanashabit

This morning I was in the mood for something decadent, sweet and filling. My step-mom sent me a a beautiful picture of french toast she had on a recent trip to New York and I’ve been dying to make a vegan version ever since.

This recipe is adapted from Sara at (never home)maker. This french toast recipe is delicious and, I would even wager, better than the traditional version. The banana added a subtle sweetness that was perfect for breakfast. I stuffed my waffles with almond butter, but yogurt or fresh fruit would be great too.

Vegan Stuffed French Toast

1/2 Large Banana
1/2 C. Soy
2 t. Ground Flax Seed
1 t. Almond Butter
1/2 t. Cinnamon
1/2 t. Vanilla extract
2 Slices of Whole Wheat Bread (I used honey oat bread I got at the farmers market)

Toppings/Stuffing Ideas:
Strawberries, bananas, blueberries
Almond butter
Yogurt
Maple syrup
Anything you have on hand

1. Cut the banana into chunks and place all ingredients, except the bread, into a blender. Blend until all lumps are removed.
2. Pour batter into shallow bowl and soak each piece of bread.
3. Spray a pan with cooking spray (this is important!!) and bring to medium heat on stove.
4. Place the french toast on the pan and cook until golden brown and flip, allowing the other side to do the same.
5. Stuff and top you french toast.

Afterthought: you might opt to toast your bread in a toaster prior to soaking it in the batter if you want the consistency of ‘regular’ french toast. The banana doesn’t firm up like an egg does.

You will not be disappointed.

I’m off to meet a group in the lab to finish up a project and report. We also have to work on a proposal for our next project…it’s a vicious cycle.

Wish me luck and go make some french toast – vegan style!
