How do I make vegan french toast??
There are recipes with tofu, but I like to minimize my soy intake. A great soak for french toast is almond milk with mashed bananas and vanilla extract. This works best on a thickly-sliced bread, like sourdough.
Ooh I like that idea (the one posted in the second sentence). thanks!
I'm pretty sure there is a recipe in Vegan Brunch by Isa Chandra Moskowitz, the almond milk with banana sounds like a great idea!
Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
Warm Blueberry Compote
2 pints blueberries
1/3 cup agave or maple syrup
½ lemon, juice and zest
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cinnamon French Toast
1 loaf French or whole wheat bread
2 cups flour
2 cups non-dairy milk (I use almond)
3 tablespoons maple syrup + extra for dipping
2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cinnamon
pinch of sea salt
2 tablespoon canola oil
powdered sugar for sifting
Procedure:
Warm Blueberry Compote
1. In small saucepot over low heat, combine blueberries, maple syrup, lemon juice and zest. Let simmer for 10 minutes, or until mixture is soft and syrupy. Set aside.
Cinnamon French Toast
1. Slice bread into ¾” thick slices.
2. In medium size bowl whisk flour, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Heat oil in large non-stick skillet.
4. Submerge each slice of bread in the batter to coat, and then heat on skillet. Flip French toast and cook until desired crispiness. Repeat this process for every slice of bread.
5. Serve French toast topped with sifted powdered sugar and the blueberry compote.

I gotta say, these all sound fabulous! I know what I'll be making for breakfast Satuday morning!
@tlcv, I tried the pumpkin french toast from Vegan Brunch over the weekend (in a Thanksgiving mood, I guess), and it was no where near as good and easy and the Chloe recipe. Despite all the spices added to that recipe, it was bland. I will have the try the Chef Chloe one with almond butter on it - I love anything with nut butters on it! 
I make a french toast using chick pea flour, I love it and so does my omni hubby. Its the Fronch Toast recipe from the Vegan with a Vengence cook. I also really like the vegweb website for other fun recipes. Go to your library and check out some cookbooks, its so much fun to try new things.
I'm definately trying the Chef Chloe recipe next time I have some down time.
