Vegan Cinnamon Raisin Sourdough French Toast

This was a surprise breakfast over the weekend! At the encouragement of my friend and baking mentor Nora Goodloe I decided to branch out and make a cinnamon raisin sourdough bread.

This scared me on a few levels. I am not a great baker. I am not precise with my measurements, I just wing it most of the time. These are not the qualities of a good baker.

I looked at a few recipes, saw that I needed to invest more time and then decided to just wing it. I didn’t soak my raisins. I didn’t measure the cinnamon. I just threw it all in the dough. The bread gods were on my side that day because it worked out perfectly. I do understand why it’s important to measure because I have absolutely no idea how to replicate it.

We used the cinnamon raisin sourdough bread to make Vegan French toast. It turned out even better than I imagined.

I created this recipe back years ago when I owned a couple of restaurants. It is so easy and the taste is out of this world. Let me know if you are going to try it!

Ingredients

1 cup almond milk

1 1/2 tbsp nutritional yeast

2 tbsp gluten free flour (you can use regular all purpose flour as well)

2 tbsp coconut sugar

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla

cinnamon to taste

cinnamon raisin sourdough bread (any crusty bread will do)

• Whisk all ingredients together.

• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a little vegan butter in pan to keep the bread from sticking.

• Dip both sides of your bread in mixture and place in the warm skillet. Allow to cook until browned on both sides, approximately 3-5 minutes.

• Enjoy with topping of your choice!
