Ingredients
- 8 slices sourdough bread or any kind of day old bread
- 1 tbsp white chia seeds ground
- 1 cup soy milk or any kind of dairy-free milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon ground
- ¼ tsp nutmeg ground
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- olive oil cooking spray or 1 tsp coconut oil, or coconut oil cooking spray
Optional Toppings
- berries
- maple syrup
- coconut yogurt
- whipped coconut cream
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients, except the bread and coconut oil, in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk together until well combined. Place in the fridge to thicken for 10 minutes.
- After the batter has thickened, pour it into a shallow dish. Dip the bread into the mixture and soak for two minutes. Flip over the bread and soak the other side for an additional minute. Remove.
- While the bread is soaking, heat 1 tsp coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil has melted add the bread, cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, flip, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove the French toast from the heat. Repeat until all the slices have been cooked.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings and syrup.
Notes
- For best results, use two day old bread as this prevents the French toast from being soggy. Slightly stale bread is best!
- Ensure the chia seeds are ground with a high speed grinder/ blender until it is a fine powder. The chia powder easily absorbs the milk and is unnoticeable when cooked.
- Serve the french toast immediately.
- Use spray oil if you’d prefer rather than coconut oil to cook the bread.
- Substitute the sourdough bread with gluten free bread to make this recipe gluten free, or with sprouted wheat bread for more fiber.
- You can use any nut milk instead of soy milk if preferred.
