Tips For Making Vegan French Toast
Don't dip your french toast for too long
If you place your bread into the batter for a long time, (more than what is recommended) it will become very soggy and it may not recover.
You want the outside of the french toast to be crispy and over-dipping may ruin this.
Customise This Recipe
- Use vegan white chocolate instead. This also tastes great.
Frequently Asked Questions
The bread was dipped into the batter for too long. Too much liquid was absorbed, making the bread flimsy and soggy.

Simple Vegan Chocolate French Toast
Ingredients
For the French toast batter:
- 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 120 ml unsweetened soy milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Bread:
- 4 slices of thick white bread
- 0.5 Tablespoon vegan butter for frying
For the filling:
- 24 small squares of vegan chocolate
Garnish:
- Maple syrup optional
Instructions
Make the French Toast Batter:
- To a medium bowl, add the cornstarch then gradually, add in the soy milk. Whisk constantly so that there are no lumps.
- Next, add in the vanilla extract, maple syrup and ground cinnamon. Combine with a whisk.
Dip the bread:
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the vegan butter. Dip one slice of bread into the batter for 5-10 seconds on each side. Place the wet bread into the hot pan.
- Carefully place 12 squares of the vegan chocolate on to the frying bread, then quickly dip the other half of bread and place it over the chocolate in the pan, creating a sandwich.
- Repeat these steps for the second French toast sandwich later on.
Fry your French toast:
- Cook your French toast for 2 minutes, pressing down with a metal spatula until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. This ensures that the sandwich is properly pressed together.
- After 2 minutes, flip your chocolate French toast and cook the other side until it is also golden brown. Then fry your second sandwich, following the same process.
Garnish your French toast:
- Pour a little maple syrup over the French toast if you wish. Serve warm.
