Ingredients
5-6 slices of stale* dry bread of choice (cut to ¾” thickness)
½ cup dairy-free milk of choice
-
1 scoop Growing Naturals vanilla pea protein
4-5 dashes of ground cinnamon
vegan butter or coconut oil for cooking
maple syrup
fruit of choice
Optional Toppings
Directions
In a shallow bowl, whisk together milk, pea protein and cinnamon until thoroughly combined. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Meanwhile, place a dollop of vegan butter or coconut oil in a skillet and heat until melted and bubbly.
Give your batter a good last whisk before dipping your toast.
Dip each slice of bread and flip it over making sure to coat both sides.
Then place the coated slices on the heated skillet and cook on each side for a few minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Repeat steps 4-5 until all slices have been cooked.
Serve with your choice fruit and drizzle with syrup.
Note
Does the bread have to be stale?
Stale bread that has lost some moisture is best for French toast because it soaks up the custardy batter better and will not fall apart during the process.
Can I use rice protein instead?
While you CAN use rice protein instead of pea protein for this recipe, please note rice protein will NOT create a thick batter like pea protein does. For rice protein, try using half a scoop and mix it with 2 tbsp. of cornstarch to add the thickening factor.
