Pumpkin French Toast (Vegan) image

A delicious, healthy, easy, and custardy vegan French toast from Isa Chandra Moskowitz's new cookbook, "Vegan Brunch". Recipe is very low effort but requires 30 minutes soaking time. TIP: These french toast recipes call for stale bread because it's going to be soaking up custard, but you still want the bread to hold its shape. Fresh bread will get mushy and, worst case scenario, fall apart. A 3 day old loaf should be just fine and 5 days old might be too late (make it into breadcrumbs instead.) If you have only a fresh baguette, toast slices at 300°F oven for about 10 minutes, until they are hardened a bit but not toasted.

Time 26m

Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
1 1/2 cups almond milk (or your favorite non-dairy milk)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 stale baguette, sliced diagonally in 1 inch pieces (see above tip) or 8 pieces thick sliced bread (see above tip)
cooking oil, for the pan

Steps:

  • Mix together all ingredients except for the bread. Spread out baguette slices on a rimmed baking pan in a single layer. Pour on pumpkin mixture and flip to coat. Let sit for 20 minutes, then flip over and soak for 10 minutes more.
  • Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spray with cooking oil, or drizzle a little into the pan, and cook about half of the soaked breads at a time for 5 to 7 minutes on one side and about 3 minutes on the other. They should be golden to medium brown and flecked with darker spots. Keep warm on a plate covered with tin foil while you cook the second batch.
  • If not serving immediately, cover and place in a 200°F oven for up to an hour. Serve with maple syrup and margarine, of course.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The french toast was a bit dry. I think I'll add a bit more milk to the batter next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less maple syrup.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but I thought this french toast was pretty good. The spices helped to balance out the pumpkin flavor.

I added a bit of chopped walnuts to the batter for extra crunch. It was a great addition!

I've tried many vegan french toast recipes, but this one is by far the best. The pumpkin flavor is subtle but noticeable, and the spices add a nice touch. I'll definitely be making this again!

This pumpkin french toast was a delightful treat! The pumpkin puree added a lovely flavor and color to the bread, and the spices gave it a warm and inviting aroma. It was perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
