We’ve tried it and it’s just the thing that will keep your family warm and happy this season. What’s even better? The recipe is completely vegan, making it an option suitable for anyone who may take a seat at your table.

Carrots (the big ones)
Vegetable Broth (can use chicken if you don’t want to make it vegan)
Coconut Milk (or heavy cream works too, if you aren’t making it vegan)

Vegan French Toast
Thanksgiving isn’t just about the big feast, there’s the morning before and after to focus on too! What screams cozy fall morning more than some french toast? Here’s a recipe by Nora Cooks that takes an eggless approach to the breakfast dish.
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened soy milk (or any non-dairy milk) ¼ cup cornstarch ½ tsp baking powder 2 tsps pure maple syrup 6-8 slices of thick sliced bread | ¼ cup cornstarch 1 tsp ground flaxseeds 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp vanilla 2-3 tbsp vegan butter or coconut oil Maple syrup for topping |
Directions
In a shallow bowl, large enough for a piece of bread, whisk soy milk, cornstarch, ground flaxseeds, baking powder, cinnamon, maple syrup, and vanilla.
Add some vegan butter/coconut oil to pan over medium-high heat and let melt. Whisk batter again before dipping bread, to make sure the cornstarch didn’t sink to the bottom.
Dip each side of the bread in the batter, letting soak for around 10 seconds. Then, add the bread to the pan and cook 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Add more butter/oil to pan as needed for each slice.
Serve it up with some maple syrup and toppings of your desire!
