French Toast is now portable!
Take your French Toast to work.
Take it to class, take it in the car, sneak it into your little sister’s piano recital… Just don’t blame me if people give you weird looks :-?.
Fast Food?
When I was little, Burger King French toast sticks were a rare treat. On long car trips, or if I had an early-morning soccer game, we’d sometimes pick up BK French toast sticks for breakfast. Yesterday I decided to use Ezekiel cinnamon-raisin bread and make my own French toast sticks:
French Toast to-go!
(serves 2)
Categorized here: Non-Dessert Recipes.
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk of choice
- 1 medium, overripe banana (see nutrition link below, for substitution ideas)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/16 tsp salt
- optional: oil or margarine for cooking
- 4-5 slices bread (or cinnamon-raisin bread)
Either blend first five ingredients, or thoroughly mash your banana with a fork and then add other ingredients (excluding bread). In a wide, shallow dish, put a slice of bread into the batter and let it sit for 30 seconds on each side. (Don’t rush this step!) Fry in a little bit of vegan butter or oil (or you can coat the pan with oil spray if you prefer), and cook on medium-low heat. You’ll probably want to do one slice at a time, so there’s room to flip when it browns. Obviously, you can just eat this as regular french toast… but it’s way more fun to cut into strips and eat with your hands!
Got any remaining batter? Pour it on top of your French toast sticks!
Top with powdered sugar or Sugar-Free Powdered Sugar.
Or dip in syrup, or spread with peanut butter!!
Question of the Day:
How often do you eat fast food?
I think I was destined to be a vegetarian… Even when I was little, I never liked fast-food burgers. My favorite things to order were the Frostys, Taco Bell cinnamon twists, and McDonalds apple pies.
Yesterday I ate my French toast with this milkshake.
Completing the fast-food makeover ;).
how do you get yours so crispy?
Question – I have seen that you add banana to a lot of your recipes. I’m not a huge fan of bananas and I do see that you have alternate recipes without the bananas, but I was wondering, when you add them is it for texture or flavor? If the banana flavor isn’t that noticable, then it’s not a big deal at all! Thanks in advance! 🙂
It probably depends on the recipe.
It didn’t work. I followed the recipe exactly (With different bread but the same thickness as yours) and all I got was soggy bread and burnt bits.
You need to fry in vegan butter or coat the pan well. Its really good!
Loved these!
Very yummy and easy to make! Will be making again!
I really, really appreciate how accessible your recipes are, Katie. I am not a vegan, but I’m very open to any food that tastes good, and looking for more healthful (and sometimes just EASIER) recipes to add my daily menus. You’re just so great at forming the recipes so that everyone can easily choose what they need for dietary restrictions, or just choose from what they have on hand without freaking out that “I don’t have this obscure sweetener! Will this work without it???”
If you wanted to get a homemade bread section going…I’m just saying I’d support you!!
cheers!!
Oh My Gosh Katie! You are a rockstar. I love your pages so much. I tried this recipe, it came out very tasty. Do you have an alternative to add chocolate to this. My child would try stuff if there is chocolate in it 🙂
I don’t… but I can put it on my to-do list!
I love your blog, too – you’re on our blog roll! I love to bake but I’m not really very creative, so I envy your ability to come up with new ideas. If you’ll forgive a little shameless self-promotion, you might want to check out our Mom’s Vegan Kitchen French Toast Mix – it helps you make delicious French toast in no time, and you can still put your own creative twist on it!
Banana’s! I’ve missed french toast (I’m not Vegan but allergic to eggs and dairy). It’s nice to know I can still make it. I’m very excited to try this!
OMG! I am currently enjoying the pineapple variation of this recipe.. I added unsweetened coconut to the soak and topped with a pineapple slice and more shredded coconut. HOLY CROW! … heat up the pineapple… vegan heaven. (I also added a little stevia to the mix) Wanted to report on my variation!!
