Sugar-free, Whole Vegan French Toast

The French Toast is one of the typical sweets in the gastronomy of many countries. They are usually eaten at Christmas, but we have to be honest: they are so delicious they make us want to eat them all year round! Today, we’ll share a step-by-step recipe for whole, sugar-free, vegan French Toast!

Whole Vegan French Toast

This French Toast is vegan because it does not contain eggs or any food of animal origin. However, of course everyone can eat them, and we want to encourage you to try them. With no added sugar or eggs, they are a much healthier option than traditional French toast.

These French Toasts  are as delicious and light as the originals. However, their fat content is much lower and they can be perfect not only for people who follow a vegan diet, but for those who suffer from food intolerance or simply want to take care of their health.

Nutritional value

The main ingredient in this recipe is wholegrain bread, that is, made with whole wheat flour. This is a source of fiber and complex carbohydrates, as well as providing B vitamins and minerals such as phosphorus and iron, and has a very low fat content.

Traditional cow’s milk has been replaced in this recipe by almond milk, and sugar by stevia. Of course, if you prefer, you don’t need to sweeten the french toast (after all, the almond milk will already have a sweet taste). In the end, you can also bathe them with some honey.

Nutritionally, the almond milk provides between 25 and 50 calories per 100 grams  and is rich in monounsaturated fats ( “good” fats), and vitamins B6 and E, among others.

Method of preparation

1. Cut thick slices of bread, one and a half to two centimeters thick. Reserve.
