Sweet cinnamon french toast
A quick and easy breakfast for one, this is a lovely take on a classic morning meal.
When I tell people I’m vegan they ask how do I live without eggs? I used to live off eggs as my main source of protein but this delicious French toast has protein and omega 3 and none of the cruelty or negative health effects of eggs.I do not miss eggs at all! I used wholegrain seeded bread for more fiber, protein and good fats. You can even use gluten free bread if you are intolerant. I was surprised at how similar this delicious healthy breakfast is to the original. The black salt gives a great eggy taste but you can use normal salt if you can’t get hold of any.
TIP: Blitz the chia seeds in a blender to a powder to make them soak up the liquid easier. It tastes better too. If you are making a large batch or using larger slices of bread preheat your oven on low and keep them warm while you fry each slice.
- 250ml unsweetened soya/almond milk
- 50g chickpea flour (also called gram flour)
- 1 tbsp ground chia seeds
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tsp agave/maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Generous pinch of cinnamon
- Pinch of black salt
- 4-5 slices of bread
- Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl with a fork or hand whisk.
- Pour in the milk and whisk to a batter. Add the vanilla and syrup and whisk again. Allow to sit for a few minutes to soak.
- Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan on a medium heat and dip the bread in the batter mix, covering both sides. Let it sit for 10 seconds then place in the pan and fry each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- Best served with fresh fruit, a drizzle of syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
