Now, I’ll tell ya somethin’ ‘bout makin’ French toast with no eggs. Some folks think ya need eggs for French toast to be good, but lemme tell ya, that ain’t true at all! You can whip up a fine piece of toast without crackin’ a single egg. Just need the right things and a bit of time on yer hands.
First things first, let’s talk bread. This ain’t the time for no flimsy, thin bread. Oh no! You want a nice, thick slice of bread that can soak up all the good stuff we’re gonna mix up. Bread like sourdough, brioche, or even some good ol’ Texas toast will do ya just fine. Now, if it’s a day old, even better, ‘cause it soaks up all that mixture like a sponge.
Alright, now we got the bread. So, what do we use instead of eggs? Well, I’ll tell ya my little secret. Ya can use a mix of things to make that batter thick and creamy-like. Here’s what ya need:
- 1/2 cup water or plant milk (almond, soy, or oat works real nice)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch – this’ll help thicken things up
- 1 tbsp chickpea flour – gives it a little bit of that custardy feel
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon – add a nice flavor
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract for that sweet, warm taste
- 1-2 tsp sugar or maple syrup if ya want it sweet
Now, toss all those things into a blender or a bowl if ya feel like whiskin’ by hand, and mix it until it’s all smooth and no lumps are hangin’ around. This here mixture’s what we’re gonna dip our bread into. Some folks might wanna add a pinch of salt too, just to balance the flavors.
Time to get the pan hot! You want it nice and warm ‘fore ya put in that bread. A medium heat is perfect; too hot and ya might burn it, too cold and yer bread just ends up soggy, sittin’ in that pan like a sponge. Add a bit of oil or vegan butter to keep things from stickin’.
Now comes the good part: dunkin’ the bread! Take each slice and dunk it in that mixture. Let it soak up a good bit but don’t let it sit too long, or it’ll just fall apart on ya. After that, right into the pan it goes. Fry it up till it’s golden-brown on one side, then flip it over and do the same on the other.
If ya want a little extra flavor, ya can sprinkle a bit more cinnamon or sugar on top right before ya serve it. Some folks like it with fresh fruit or a dollop of vegan yogurt. And don’t forget the syrup! Pour it over the top, let it soak in just a bit, and enjoy!
So there ya have it, a French toast recipe without any eggs in sight. Perfect for anyone who doesn’t eat eggs or just ran out but still cravin’ a good ol’ plate of French toast. Easy to make, and it tastes just as good as the real deal!
