Vegan Breakfast

Some time ago I found this recipe for French Toast. I had been looking for one that didn't use eggs because in our family, we don't eat them. I've tried other French toast recipes in the past, but none of us really liked them. After reading the ingredients to this one, I was hesitant. However, I decided to give it a try and we were pleasantly surprised at just how good it was. In fact, it's the kids favorite. That's saying something, especially if you have picky eaters in your family like mine are at times.

In some places I have read recommendations for using day old bread, French bread, or Texas toast. I've not tried any of those. I use 100% Whole Wheat bread with good success. For your family, you may need to experiment with different bread types.

French Toast

Yield: About 6 slices

• 1 cup Soymilk
• 2 Tbsp. Flour
• 1 tsp. Sugar
• 1 Tbsp. Nutritional yeast flakes
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• Sliced bread (about 6 slices)
  

Mix together all ingredients except bread. Dip slices of bread into the mixture to coat well. Heat oil in a skillet and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides. (Use a nonstick pan and cooking spray to make them fat-free.) Serve hot with cinnamon or maple syrup.

NOTE: You can play with the proportions a little. This is the basic recipe I started out using many years ago, but since then I kind of "wing it" and probably use more nutritional yeast than flour. (Of course, I now am used to nut yeast and I really like it's flavor.) I also just noticed that the recipe doesn't call for any vanilla or other extracts and I usually add some--mostly vanilla. Although, I've made some more fancy French toast using coconut, pecan, or rum extracts too.
