Ingredients

Scale

For the French Toast:

4 slices thick bread (brioche, sourdough, or Texas toast)
½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based: almond, oat, soy, or coconut)
1 tbsp cornstarch (or all-purpose flour)
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
1 tbsp maple syrup (or sugar, for sweetness)
1 tbsp butter or coconut oil (for frying)

For Serving (Optional):

Maple syrup
Fresh fruit (strawberries, bananas, blueberries)
Powdered sugar
Nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew butter)

Instructions

Prepare the Batter:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together milk, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and maple syrup until smooth.
- Ensure there are no lumps for a silky texture.
Heat the Pan:
- Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and add butter or coconut oil.
- Let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
Dip the Bread:
- Quickly dip each slice of bread into the batter, making sure both sides are coated without soaking too long.
Cook the French Toast:
- Place the bread on the heated pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Flip carefully and cook until crisp on the outside.
Serve & Enjoy:
- Remove from the pan and serve warm with maple syrup, fruit, or your favorite toppings.
- Enjoy immediately!

Notes

For a Crispier Texture: Use slightly stale bread as it absorbs less liquid and holds its shape better.
For a Vegan Version: Use plant-based milk and coconut oil instead of butter.
For a Thicker Batter: Add an extra ½ tbsp of cornstarch or flour.
To Make it Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free bread and ensure your other ingredients are gluten-free.
Savory Twist: Skip the sweetener and cinnamon, then top with avocado, sautéed mushrooms, or vegan cheese.
