Instructions

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
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. Repeat with rest of bread, add more butter as needed for frying.
Enjoy with maple syrup, sliced bananas, fresh fruit, or Macerated Strawberries or all four, lol! For step by step photos, FAQ, tips, and suggestions see above post

Notes

To store and freeze: store the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat them in a skillet over medium heat so they can get a bit crispy again.
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
Make ahead: To save time, you can make the batter 1 or 2 days ahead! Just keep it in a sealed container in the fridge until it’s time to eat.
This recipe can easily be doubled
