Vegan French Toast! Yup French Toast that's vegan made with tofu! Better than the classic recipe with no eggs or dairy! Crispy & fluffy with the best flavour! Easy 20 minute breakfast! Leave whole or cut into French toast sticks for your kids
My husband was never fond of French toast. He could never understand the concept of dipping bread in eggs and frying it for breakfast. I on the other hand loved it . But I can’t say I’m missing out! This eggless french toast recipe is so good. So I’m pretty happy! I don't have a Burger King near by for their vegan french toast sticks but hey no biggy- mine are better!😳
My hubby is pretty thrilled. He absolutely loves this Vegan French toast and says this is just how it should always be made period!! Lol! Crispy on the outside and super flavourful with the perfect texture on the inside! enjoy!
No need to bake it or let it sit overnight! this vegan breakfast recipe is ready in no time for your hungry family❤️
What are the ingredients for Vegan French Toast and how do you make it?
The batter for the French bread consists of tofu, plant milk, nutritional yeast, little black salt (for that slight eggy flavour), cinnamon, salt, maple syrup, little corn starch to thicken slightly and baking powder for a little rise. It's Blended all together and Voila!
And then you just dip the bread in the French toast batter, fry it up in a pan, serve with some maple syrup, berries, sliced bananas or try my Simple Macerated Strawberries or all all four ( I’d go with that, lol) and Enjoy!

Vegan French Toast! Yup French Toast that's vegan made with tofu! Better than the classic recipe with no eggs or dairy! Crispy & fluffy with the best flavour! Easy 20 minute breakfast! Leave whole or cut into French toast sticks for your kids
Ingredients
Tofu:
- 1/2 block tofu, extra firm
French toast batter:
- 1/2 cup unsweetened vegan plant milk, I used unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tablespoon tapioca starch (flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
For the rest:
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter or oil (optional)
- 4-6 slices hearty bread of your choice, see notes*
Instructions
To make the French toast:
- Add the tofu and the rest of ingredients (except the bread and oil) to your blender or Nutra Bullet and process until smooth. Pour the batter into a wide shallow bowl ( I use a pie plate) and set aside
- Preheat non stick griddle or large non stick skillet to medium high heat. Add oil or vegan butter (optional if you have a really good non stick pan)
- Dip both sides of bread generously in the batter, to get a really good coating.
- Add battered bread to the skillet and fry for 4-5 minutes per side. Try not to move it while cooking so it develops a nice crust. If pan gets to hot turn down it down to medium heat.
- Once golden remove from pan and serve immediately
- Enjoy with maple syrup, sliced bananas, fresh fruit, or Macerated Strawberries or all four, lol!
Notes
- I use 1 or two day old French bread (cut into 1 & 1/4 inch or so slices) or hearty grain bread for this recipe
- I do not recommend soft sandwich bread for this recipe, it isn't sturdy enough
- This recipe can easily be doubled
- Recipe adapted from Peta

could i just soaked the bread overnight and then bake it ?
Hi Hanna this isn't an overnight French toast recipe, it would need added ingredients for that. Have a great day!
I would never have believed tofu and plant milk could replace the eggs for French toast but I am a total believer now. This recipe is amazing!!

Glad you enjoyed the recipe Farrah. Yes it works very well! Have a great day!
Best vegan french toast recipe I have tried! this is my go to for French toast now! just incredible! Thank you
★★★★★
Yay! thanks Jolene so happy you're enjoying it!
Hi, could I use silken tofu instead of firm do you think?
Thanks.
Hi Alanna, I recommend using extra firm tofu. If you use silken tofu the batter won't be thick enough. Enjoy the French toast!
Can you freeze it?
Hi Heidi! I have not tried freezing it as we usually eat it all or reheat leftovers the next day. I bet it would freeze just fine after it has been cooked and cooled of course, and I wouldn't freeze longer than a month or two. Have a great day Heidi!
So good , thank you for this recipe
