French toast isn't my favourite, I much rather eat pancakes instead. However many people do enjoy it, so when I came across "National French Toast Day", I knew I had to tackle a plant based version.

When it comes to choosing which bread to use, thick French or Italian bread is best. It's not the healthiest of breads but when I attempted to make it using Ezekiel bread, it failed miserably. And because I didn't have the thick toast bread, I just opted for regular toast bread.

Traditional french toast consists of eggs in the mixture and a plant based recipe obviously doesn't. But that doesn't mean that it can't be done. Here's what you'll need:

1 cup of plant based milk (I used unsweetened almond milk)

1 tsp of cinnamon

2 tsp of vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Toast bread (I used regular toast bread)

Butter for frying

Toppings can include:

Fresh banana slices

Fresh mixed berries

Chocolate chips

Whipped cream

Maple syrup

Powered sugar

Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

While the skillet is heating up, prepare the mixture.

In a large bowl (or deep plate) add each ingredient one by one, whisking them as you go along. Make sure that you whisk all of the ingredients until well combined.

Place each slice of bread into the mixture, allowing the bread to soak in some of it.

Melt a small amount of butter in the skillet. When the butter has melted, fry the toast until golden brown. Make sure to fry both sides.

Serve the french toast hot with your favourite toppings. Eat and enjoy!
