Ingredients:

  • 4 slices of bread (any type you prefer)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Batter:
      • In a shallow bowl or pie dish, whisk together the milk, cornstarch, maple syrup or sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Make sure the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  2. Soak the Bread:
    • Dip each slice of bread into the milk mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10-15 seconds on each side. Make sure the bread is evenly coated with the batter.
  • Cook the French Toast:
    • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
    • Once the skillet is hot, place the soaked bread slices onto it. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve:
    • Transfer the cooked French toast to serving plates.
    • Optionally, you can serve it with toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, honey, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
  • Enjoy:
    • Serve the eggless French toast immediately while it’s still warm and crispy.
  • This eggless French toast is a delicious and satisfying breakfast or brunch option for those who prefer not to use eggs. The cornstarch helps to thicken the batter and bind the ingredients together, resulting in a tasty and golden brown French toast.
