Guess what? I finally managed to get up get up early in the morning and cook a nice breakfast for myself and Steve! (For more on why this is a newsworthy accomplishment, check out this post). In keeping with my newfound vegan obsession, the usual eggs and butter were replaced with silken tofu and safflower oil. I really wasn't sure how the toast would turn out, and was somewhat surprised at how amazing it tasted! The texture was a little different, but everything held together well. Both of us loved the vanilla-cinnamon flavour, and the berries that topped mine were a great touch. (My berry-phobic husband refrained as usual).
Scroll down for the recipe...
The Candle Cafe's Vanilla-Cinnamon French Toast
Ingredients:
- 1 pound silken tofu
- 1 1/4 cups vanilla rice milk
- 4 1/2 teaspoons agave nectar (I couldn't find it and substituted maple syrup)
- 3 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- coconut butter or safflower oil for cooking
- bread
- fresh berries
- confectioner's sugar
Blend tofu, milk, agave nectar, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth. Coat bread slices with liquid until soaked through. Heat some oil in a medium skillet. Cook bread for 4-6 minutes on each side. Serve with berries and/or confectioner's sugar and/or maple syrup if desired.
Seriously, everyone should try this recipe, it's fabulous.
