Ingredients

• 8 slices Sourdough bread
• 1 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, oat)
• 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour (or all-purpose gluten-free flour)
• 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Vegan butter or neutral oil (for cooking)
• 2 teaspoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 1 cup Fresh fruit or maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, chickpea flour, ground flaxseed, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth. Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes so the flaxseed can thicken the mixture.

Step 2

Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegan butter or neutral oil and spread it evenly.

Step 3

Dip one slice of sourdough bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let the excess batter drip back into the bowl.

Step 4

Place the coated bread slice onto the hot skillet. Repeat for as many slices as your skillet can accommodate without overcrowding.

Step 5

Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Step 6

Remove the cooked French toast slices from the skillet and place them on a plate. Repeat the process, adding more vegan butter or oil as needed, until all slices are cooked.

Step 7

Serve the vegan sourdough French toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar (if using) and topped with fresh fruit or drizzled with maple syrup, if desired.
