Step-by-step
- Start by making the batter: add the tofu, plant-based milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour batter into a shallow bowl.
- Heat a frying pan to medium heat and add some vegan butter. When it starts to sizzle, dip a slice of bread into the batter, then quickly dip the other side. Allow any excess to drip off, then place in the pan. Cook a few minutes per side until golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the bread.
- Top with berries, powdered sugar and maple syrup (if desired!).
Achieving a crisp exterior on plant-based French toast without dairy or eggs requires a high-protein starch base that browns evenly under moderate heat.
- Blend the firm tofu and plant-based milk until completely smooth to prevent gritty textures from clinging to the bread surface.
- Set the frying pan to medium heat; too high will burn the sugar in the batter before the interior warms through, while too low will steam the bread rather than frying it.
- Dip each bread slice for no more than three to four seconds total, preventing excess liquid absorption that leads to a soggy center.
- Cook for two to three minutes per side until the edges turn a deep golden brown and release easily from the pan surface.
Serve the finished slices immediately alongside fresh berries and pure maple syrup, which add necessary acidity and moisture to balance the rich, fried bread. Maintaining high pan heat between batches ensures consistent crispness from the first slice to the last.
