Easy Vegan French Toast (10 Minutes!)

This was so good and easy! Using thick slices of my mom’s famous homemade sourdough my plate felt restaurant-worthy.

I used soymilk as the plant milk and topped everything in the end with a little maple syrup, vegan greek yogurt, raspberries, the remaining banana sliced up and sprinkled on some hemp seeds. It was surprising how seamlessly and quickly this all came together; this recipe could even be made on a workday morning should one have a little more extra time.

Thanks for all that you do, it’s hard to go wrong with a minimalist baker recipe.

Love this recipe! My kiddos especially like this French toast. Today I substituted pumpkin for the banana and pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon for a fall version. It was delicious!

SUPERB! I am always reticent to make many recipes from the net. So often they turn out not as good as promised. However…this went beyond what was promised. My husband loved this, I loved it.
The breads I used were a country Sourdough from a local bakery and a very good gluten free bread from Franz breads.
I used Silk Half and Half, skipped the bananas and turmeric. SO good! I wish I could give this recipe a 10. There! I gave it a 10.

I love French toast, but I live abroad with changing egg replacement stock all the time. I haven’t been able to make french toast with things I know i’ll always have. But now I can!! This recipe is sooo good! I made it with Challah because that’s what I had and it was very good.

This was so good! The first time I made this recipe I followed it as it. However, the next time I didn’t have bananas so I used apples and blended all the other ingredients together. It came out great. Thank you!

I used arrowroot instead of white flour & had to cook each side more like 4-5 mins to crisp it a bit; also used sourdough bread. This was surprisingly good! Topped it w/a little plant butter & homemade blueberry compote. Thanks for this simple & tasty recipe.

Didn’t have cornstarch so used regular flour, worked great! Super simple and turned out way better than using aquafaba. Thanks for another delicious recipe!

I made this today, and it was a big hit with my family. I’d been planning to skip the black salt, which I’d never heard of before, but then I happened to see some at the natural foods store right before making this recipe. I’m so glad I got the black salt because it’s very flavorful. Thanks for the great recipe!

Are you joking me right now. This is probably the best homemade French toast I’ve ever had. So perfect! I used regular sugar because I didn’t have pure maple syrup and I did not add the banana 😅 amazing, perfect, so delicious! And I love that it’s vegan!

This is easily the best vegan French toast recipe out there. I use closer to 1/3 banana, and I go a little “heaping” on the vanilla and cinnamon and it’s perfect. Try it with the Trader Joe’s vegan brioche bread for the best combo.

Loved this!
I used tapioca starch, since it’s what I had on hand.
For bread I used two day old homemade vegan Cuban bread – yum!
Thanks for sharing this great recipe. :-)

I tried quite a few recipes when I first started eating vegan, trying to satisfy the granddaughter’s taste for French toast. This one really hits it. I love the crisp that it gets from the cornstarch.

I had french toast at a vegan restaurant which used Just Egg. Left me craving french toast at home like the old days. This is better and needs no special ingredients since I always have ripe banana in the freezer for smoothies. (we did have to make a second batch for two people)
This is definitely a keeper!

Wow, excellent recipe, made as is. Don’t skip mashed banana.

Potato starch works just fine as a substitute for the corn starch. Excellent recipe!

Oh my GOODNESS. This recipe was just what I needed!! I did make a couple of edits when putting it all together. I didn’t have any cornstarch on hand so I subbed cassava flour. I used molasses in place of the maple syrup, and completely omitted the banana and turmeric. I didn’t have any thick bread, so I used 3 pieces of Udi’s gluten free bread. Once finished, I topped it with a balsamic strawberry compote I made before hand… *chef’s kiss*. 12/10!!!! This was the perfect dinner after a long day at work! :)

Hello again! I have tried many vegan french toast recipes, but this one is the BEST. I used carbonaut gf bread, and otherwise prepared it just as described. Delicious. We really enjoyed the crisp factor that the corn starch added. Thank you for an easy and delightful recipe.

First time making vegan french toast and will def be making again. I subbed 1tbsp corn flour for 1tbsp bird’s custard powder and left out the banana and it had a wonderfully chewy texture. So much nicer than i was expecting.

Wonderful and easy recipe. Closest I’ve found to an en based recipe. I used a blender to bring the interviene in the batter together. Love the look and taste. Minimalist Bakery is my go to chef for recipes. Thank you

I sadly did not like this at all and wouldn’t have eaten it if I had another option available. My husband didn’t like it either. I followed the instructions exactly as written. It tasted very cornstarchy and the crispness it offered was kind of a weird texture. I usually love the minimalist baker recipes but this one wasn’t a hit.

Just wow! Even with gluten-free bread this is a keeper! I had to cook it 3+ minutes per side due to GF bread’s tendency to sogginess, but turned out nice and crisp on the outside.
I subbed Bird’s Custard Powder* for the cornstarch as Bird’s is essentially cornstarch but it really ramps up the egginess. I have been looking for new breakfast items for my B&B which will be totally vegan this summer, and this one definitely makes the cut! Thank you thank you!!
*Canadian bakers know Bird’s as the essential ingredient in Nanaimo bars but there’s no sugar in it and bonus, it’s vegan. So I’ve been using it in savoury dishes like tofu scramble

Loved it!!! I used apple sauce instead of banana just because I had an opened jar in the fridge, man it was beautiful will try banana next time aswell! Definately saving this recipe 😍

I just made this for my son and he loved it. Of course i had to try it too even though i already ate!!! I made 2 versions. One on 2 day old fresh sourdough, the more dense bread from the farmers market and the other on fresh sourdough. There was a clear winner. The 2 day old dense bread was incredible!!!!
Thank you once again for a winner!

I just made this for me and my husband for brunch and we loved it.
Made it exactly to the recipe apart from the kala namak which I didn’t have. We served it with maple syrup which I think I would choose every time. Husband thought he might try (vegan) sausages and beans.
My husband was the French toast specialist when the children were young – 40 years ago!! – we agreed that this was at least as good as that. He said – make sure you don’t lose this recipe.

Amazing! I used raisin bread and only 1 Tbsp of corn starch. Didn’t need to pour maple syrup on top since this was delicious as is!

Just made these. OMG they are to die for. I followed the recipe exactly, my only sub was oat milk instead of almond. Topped with frozen berry coulis and rice whip cream. I was in absolute heaven.

Thank you for all of your recipes they are fantastic, I am so glad I stumbled upon your site. I am 6 months vegan and your recipes have helped me stay on track. 🤩

This was amazing, I recommend for all!

I made this for breakfast today and it was fantastic. My spouse refused to eat it because it didn’t ‘look’ like ‘normal’ french toast which was crazy. It looked exactly like my usual french toast… and tasted like it too. (Knowing I am vegan my family just doesn’t trust what I do in the kitchen, so I don’t think I am ever going to get them to go vegan. Ugh!) Regardless, this was fantastic. I didn’t have a banana, so I used a 1/2 TBSP pumkin puree which gave it the consistency of the typical egg sauce and the color as if I had added the turmeric, which I didn’t. The taste was spot on. For my bread, I used thick cut cinnamon swirl bread from a local bakery and it was perfect. Thank you for another great recipe.

Thank you for all your amazing recipes!! This one is really great. First time I made it, I only had potatoe starch, it turned out a bit too gooey. The second time (and many more to come) I used corn starch. My 4 year old son often asks for it for breakfast, we both think it’s a winner! So fast and easy to make.

Made this for breakfast today following the recipe exactly and it was AMAZING. Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe.

I made this today and followed to the letter. I used sourdough sandwich bread, which maybe was a tad flimsier than a big homemade loaf. Because I’ve only ever had French toast that uses eggs, I definitely tasted a little bit of difference here (it was lighter and less custardy than egg FT). However, it was delicious and nothing fell apart, which is the usual complaint with vegan FT.

This will definitely be my “standard” FT recipe moving forward. Next time, I might add a little more banana and kala namak to up the custardy/egginess I’m missing.

I used oat milk and whole grain bread instead. This recipe did not disappoint, it tasted like the real thing!

Delicious! We used my husband’s homemade sourdough bread and made this for our parents. No one could tell it didn’t have eggs. Yum!

Subbed arrowroot powder, and it came out delicious. I love how the starch makes it crispy. The mashed banana was a nice added touch. I followed everything else exactly.

Thank you for this recipe! I’ve been wanting to make French toast, but haven’t seen an egg free or dairy free recipe I’d like to attempt. I didn’t have any sturdy bread on hand so used regular sandwhich bread. I kept it in the liquid just enough to coat it. I can see how sturdy bread would have been ideal, but we made it work. We used oat milk. Also, I used an immersion blender to mix all of the wet ingredients to blend all the banana in. All five of my kids loved them!

This recipe deserves (in my opinion) 1,000,000 stars. It is amazing!! I love this recipe so much! The recipe I normally follow took a lot longer, so this makes it so much easier. Thanks for all you hard work!!

This was so good with sourdough bread – the perfect Mother’s Day breakfast. I ate mine with strawberries, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Divine – I think this will be a Mother’s Day tradition!

This is amazing! I recently got black salt and have been dying to try it in French toast. I had a more flimsy bread on hand and couldn’t wait, I toasted the bread first and it worked like a dream! Not soggy at all! I can’t wait to try it with a great sourdough!

This recipe is soooo delicious!!!! I had to soak my sourdough longer than stated, but totally ok. The smell as it was cooking took me back to my childhood days of eating Sonic’s French toast sticks lol! Had with almond butter, berries, banana coins and a drizzle of maple syrup. This one is a keeper!

Surprised by how great this tasted! I used soy milk and homemade light rye bread. French toast is one of the things I miss most since going vegan.
