Vegan Banana French Toast

Kept by The Bhook kitchen

Ingredients

• 8 slices sturdy sandwich bread
• 1 ripe banana
• 300 ml oat milk
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
• Fresh berries, to serve

Method

1. Mash banana in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in oat milk, flaxseed, cinnamon, maple syrup, and vanilla.
2. Pour the mixture into a large shallow dish. Let the bread slices soak one at a time, about 20 seconds per side, until they’re well coated but not falling apart.
3. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a little oil. When the oil shimmers, add as many slices as fit comfortably.
4. Cook 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp.
5. Serve hot, topped with berries and a drizzle of syrup.

If bread is too soft, it’ll get soggy. Use something sturdy, preferably a day old.
