how to make Vegan French Toast

Ingredients :

1 cup non-dairy milk (see notes)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 slices bread (see notes)

Vegan French Toast

Directions :

Whisk together the non-dairy milk, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Pour this mixture into a shallow dish, like a wide bowl or pie dish.
Heat a pan on medium heat. Add some vegan butter or oil to the pan. About a tablespoon of butter should work, and you can add more as you cook additional slices.
Working with 2 slices of bread at a time, dip each slice into the mixture on both sides. For sturdy bread, gently shake each side in the mixture for about 5 seconds to soak it in. For sandwich bread, a quick dip will be enough.
Once the pan is hot, cook each slice of French toast on both sides until they are golden brown. Repeat this step with the remaining slices.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
