Easy VEGAN French Toast Recipes

Vegan French Toast

This easy vegan French toast recipe uses bananas instead of eggs, giving it a sweet flavor. Use a thickly sliced whole grain bread.  Using soft, store bought, white bread will result in the French toast being too soggy inside.

Ingredients:

    * 2-3 ripe bananas
    * 3/4 cup soy milk
    * 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    * 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (optional)
    * 1 teaspoon vanilla
    * bread
    * vegan margarine

Preparation:
Blend bananas, soy milk, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla in blender or food processor and pour mixture into pie plate or wide dish. Gently dip bread slices into the mix, coating both sides. Fry in vegan margarine in medium-hot skillet until golden brown. Serve with toppings of your choice.


Coconut Banana Vegan French Toast

A simple homemade french toast recipe, completely egg-free and suitable for vegans. This tropical-flavored French toast is made with coconut milk and bananas instead of eggs, so it's lower in fat and also cholesterol-free.

Ingredients:

    * 2 bananas
    * 1 cup coconut milk
    * 3/4 cups soy milk
    * 1/2 tsp sugar
    * 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
    * bread
    * oil or margarine for frying

Preparation:
Mash the bananas well and whisk together with the coconut milk, soy milk, sugar and cinnamon. Pour into a shallow pan or pie tin.

Dip both sides of the bread into the mixture, and cook in a lightly greased skillet over medium heat, cook until one side is golden brown.  Flip and cook that side til golden brown.  Serve immediately (In my house they get gobbled up as fast as I can make them!)  with toppings of your choice.
