Ingredients
  

  • For the Vegan Batter
  • 1 12-oz package / 340 g (12 oz) organic silken firm tofu
  • ½ cup (120 ml / 4.1 fl oz) unsweetened soy, rice or almond milk
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml / 0.1 fl oz) almond extract
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml / 0.1 fl oz) ground cinnamon
  • Pinch sea salt
  • For Cooking & Serving
  • 6 slices rustic whole grain bread
  • 1-2 Tbsp (15-30 ml) raw virgin coconut oil, for frying
  • 1½ cups / 360 ml (12.2 fl oz) sliced fresh strawberries
  • 6 Tbsp (90 ml) sliced almonds
  • Extra pure maple syrup, for drizzling
  • If working in batches, keep cooked French toast on a baking sheet in a warm oven (200°F / 90°C) until ready to serve.
  • For an extra protein boost, spread a thin layer of your favorite natural almond or peanut butter on the toast before adding toppings.
  • Use slightly stale, sturdy bread like sourdough or a rustic whole-grain loaf. It soaks up the batter better without becoming soggy.

Method
 

  1. Create the Batter: Add all batter (tofu, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon, and salt) to a blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and combined.
  3. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or bowl large enough to dip a slice of bread.
  4. Heat the Pan: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Add a bit of coconut oil and swirl to coat the surface.
  6. Soak the Bread: Dip one slice of bread into the batter, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side until fully saturated. Lift the bread, letting any excess batter drip back into the dish.
  7. Cook the French Toast: Place the battered bread onto the hot griddle.
  8. Repeat with more slices, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
  9. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Serve and Garnish: To serve, top each slice of French toast with ¼ cup / 60 ml of sliced strawberries, 1 Tbsp / 15 ml of sliced almonds, and a generous drizzle of pure maple syrup.
