Classic Vegan French Toast (Quick, Easy, & Flavorful)

Sometimes we all want a simple plate of classic French toast. This recipe creates just that! It is super quick, simple, and straightforward. I make it with less than ten common ingredients, and it takes only around half an hour from start to finish. In this recipe post, I also share how to turn this classic vegan French toast into sugar-coated cinnamon sticks!

Use thick, hearty, white bread to create the ultimate vegan French toast.

Using good quality bread is an essential key when making French toast, in my opinion. I always opt for a hearty white bread because it can soak up a lot of the batter and flavor, yet it won’t turn into a soggy mess and fall apart. I almost always have a batch of my Super Easy Homemade Bread for Beginners on hand. It is the perfect bread for this recipe!

I make this French toast with zero eggs and zero dairy!

Traditionally people make French toast with eggs and dairy. I, however, do not! Don’t worry, the classic French toast flavor and texture still tastes spot on. Instead of dairy milk, I use plant milk. Instead of eggs, I use something called flax meal. If flax meal sounds like an odd ingredient to you, I promise it isn’t! This ingredient can be found at nearly any grocery store nowadays. It’s the perfect binder for a recipe like this.

Two other key ingredients I throw into the batter are baking powder and cornstarch. The baking powder adds a touch of fluffiness to the outside of the bread, while the cornstarch gives it extra crispiness. The rest of the ingredients are all ones you would expect, like ground cinnamon and vanilla extract.

Turn the French toast into sticks!

French toast sticks are my go-to way of eating French toast lately. I personally always use my homemade bread for this recipe. This bread is on the heartier, chewier side, making it easier to eat the French toast as finger food. I cut the slice of bread into four pieces and coat all four sides of each stick in the batter. Then I cook all sides of each stick per the standard recipe directions and roll them in cinnamon sugar. I love dipping mine in a simple maple butter or a thin blueberry jam! I tell you exactly how create French toast sticks in the TikTok and written recipe below.
