Ingredients

• 200 grams Soft tofu
• 120 ml Unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, or oat milk)
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 6 slices Stale bread (thick slices, preferably vegan-friendly)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or vegan butter (for frying)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 1 serving Fresh fruit or syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Add the soft tofu, plant-based milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth to create the custard.

Step 2

Pour the blended mixture into a shallow dish wide enough to fit your bread slices.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or vegan butter.

Step 4

Dip a slice of bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly soggy.

Step 5

Place the coated bread slice onto the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Step 6

Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more coconut oil or vegan butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm until all slices are done.

Step 8

Garnish with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or syrup, as desired, and serve immediately.
