A quick and easy eggless, dairy-free French toast recipe that delivers a light, fluffy texture and perfect golden crust using simple pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Thick-cut slices of sturdy bread (sourdough or country loaf), day-old preferred
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk or oat milk
  • 2 tablespoons (14 g) flaxseed meal
  • 6 tablespoons (90 ml) warm water
  • 2 tablespoons (16 g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend/almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon (2.5 g) ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) refined coconut oil or dairy-free butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the flax egg by combining 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal with 6 tablespoons warm water in a small bowl. Whisk and let sit for 5-7 minutes until gel-like.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond milk, flax egg, all-purpose flour, baking powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and slightly thick.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add refined coconut oil or dairy-free butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
  4. Dip each slice of day-old bread (about 1 inch thick) into the batter, soaking for 15-20 seconds per side without oversoaking.
  5. Place soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side until golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Transfer cooked slices to a plate and keep warm in a low oven (about 200°F) if cooking multiple batches. Serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh berries, or preferred toppings.

Notes

Use day-old sturdy bread for best soaking without falling apart. Maintain medium heat to avoid burning. Batter consistency is key—too thin causes soggy toast, too thick prevents proper soaking. Flax egg is essential for binding and texture. Can prepare batter up to 1 hour ahead and refrigerate. For gluten-free, substitute flour and bread accordingly. Reheat leftovers in toaster oven or skillet to retain crispness.
