Vegan French Toast / Eggless French Toast

Source:- About.com

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes


Ingredients:-

Ripe bananas:- 2-3
Soy milk:- 3/4 Cup
Cinnamon:- 1 1/2 Tsp
Pumpkin pie spice (optional):- 1 Tsp
Vanilla:- 1 Tsp


Bread, any kind is fine
Vegan margarine

Procedure:-

1) Blend bananas, soy milk, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla in blender or food processor and pour mixture into pie plate or wide dish.

2) Gently dip bread slices into the mix, coating both sides.

3) Fry in vegan margarine in medium-hot skillet until golden brown.

Serve with maple syrup if desired, and, as always, enjoy your wonderful vegan French toast!

Notes:-

* If the toast is sticking to the pan ,add some margarine or pam or oil , turn down the heat and don't flip it very soon. Make sure to use thick slices of bread or day old bread to avoid any sogginess.

* Don't flip the toast too soon , cook the the toast for at least 4 minutes so the middle isn't soggy when you eat it.

* This recipe makes about 8-10 slices of bread, so if you have any leftover, add ice cubes and make a smoothie out of it.

Another Way To Avoid Sogginess:- First lightly toast the bread ( On stove top or in Oven). Then brush the batter onto one side of the bread rather than dipping the bread in the batter & brush the other side when ready to flip toast in the skillet.Make sure to use a good non stick skillet and keep your vegan butter handy while cooking. Cook on medium heat.

Zucchini Pancakes

Here is simple and healthy Zucchini pancake recipe to enjoy during breakfast or any time of the day.

Source:- Pinchofyum

Serves 2 (5-6 pancakes)

Ingredients:-

• All purpose flour:- 1/2 cup
• Sugar:- 3 Tbsp
• Baking powder:- 1 Tsp
• Baking soda:-1/4 Tsp
• Salt:-1/4 Tsp
• Egg:- 1
• Greek yogurt:- 1/2 cup
• Melted butter:- 2 Tbsp
• Water or Milk (OPTIONAL):- 1/4 cup
• Zucchini, grated:- 1 medium

Procedure:-

1) Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle to medium-high heat (350 degrees). These pancakes are a little picky about temperature.

2)Whisk dry ingredients together (flour through salt) and set aside.

3)In a separate bowl, whisk egg, yogurt, and melted butter together. Combine dry and wet ingredients together and mix until just combined. Fold in grated zucchini. OPTIONAL: if the batter is too thick, add water or milk a little at a time, until the batter consistency reaches the desired thickness. For me, 1/4 cup was enough to thin the batter but keep them nice and fluffy, but you might not need it at all depending on how thick you like your pancakes.)

4)Scoop 1/3 cup of batter onto the griddle and gently spread the batter if necessary. When you see bubbles rising around the edges, flip the pancakes. I found that some of the pancakes took as long as 10 minutes to cook (5 minutes per side). Top with butter and maple syrup!
