French toast with cinnamon apple

The recipe for french toast is super simple and easy. There is the option to serve it with some stewed cinnamon apple, I would recommend cooking the apple first as it takes a bit longer than the French toast. If you have spare apple left over, I love to heat it up and have it on top of porridge.

If you don’t want to make the stewed apple then the french toast is delicious with other toppings e.g. fresh fruit, syrup and nut butter etc.

French Toast

Ingredients

• 75g plain flour
• Pinch of salt
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 250ml non- dairy milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 4 thick slices of stale bread or toast
• Knob of non-dairy butter

Method

1. In a large jug mix the flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon. Slowly combine the milk to make a thin batter, then stir in the vanilla.
2. In a shallow bowl add a slice of bread and cover with the batter, turn it over and allow it to soak up the liquid. Heat up a bit of the butter in a frying pan and add the batter-soaked bread, flip it over after about 2-3 mins. Add another slice of bread to the shallow bowl to allow it to soak while the other is cooking and repeat this until you have cooked all 4 slices. The French toast is done when it is golden and crispy on the outside, I usually put the cooked ones in the oven on a low temp so that they stay warm while the others are cooking.
