Tips on How to Make the Best Vegan French Toast

Here are Mom’s tips for making the best vegan French toast:

1. Use white bread with a firm crumb. Many vegans are opposed to white bread on principle, but in this case you don’t want the bread competing with the batter for your attention. Also, floppy breads tend to become soggy and limp.

2. Toast the bread. If you are not the Martha Stewart of French toast and can’t plan ahead to leave bread out overnight, toasting will achieve the same end: upright slices to which the batter clings but doesn’t saturate.

3. Whisk the batter until it’s completely smooth. There’s no gluten in Mom’s mix, so you don’t need to worry about overmixing. Your aim is a smooth batter that will coat the bread evenly.

4. Dip the bread lightly; don’t soak it. Some recipes for egg-based French toast suggest soaking the bread, but you want Mom’s batter right on the outside, where you can savor its deliciousness.

5. Enjoy! French toast is the ultimate breakfast comfort food, and you’ve gone without it long enough!
