4 Simple Steps to Make Vegetarian French Toast
This is one of the easiest breakfast recipes you can make when you’re craving French toast but don’t want to use eggs. It comes together in just a few minutes and doesn’t require any complicated steps.
1. Toast the bread
Add the butter to a pan over medium heat and let it melt. Place the bread slices in the pan and let them toast until the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the bread and toast the other side as well.
2. Add the milk mixture
Once both sides are lightly golden, lower the heat. Pour a small amount of milk over the bread, then sprinkle the powdered sugar and cinnamon over the top.
Flip the bread and repeat on the other side, adding a little more milk, powdered sugar, and cinnamon as needed.
3. Cook the French toast
Increase the heat back to medium and let the French toast cook for about 1 minute on each side, allowing the milk, sugar, and cinnamon to soak into the bread.
4. Add your toppings
Turn off the heat and transfer the French toast to a plate. Drizzle generously with honey or maple syrup and add your favourite fruit toppings. You can also finish it with a light dusting of powdered sugar.
Your easy eggless French toast is ready to enjoy!
Tips for the Perfect French Toast
- Make sure both sides of the bread are lightly toasted or crunchy before adding the milk.
- Don’t add too much milk. About 3-4 tablespoons should be enough.
- If you have a sweet tooth, don’t hesitate to add extra maple syrup or powdered sugar.
- The temperature plays an important role, so make sure to adjust the heat as directed in the recipe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use oat milk or another type of milk?
Yes! You can use oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, or another milk of your choice. Keep in mind that different types of milk may slightly change the flavour and texture of the French toast.
Can I use whole wheat bread for this recipe?
Absolutely. Whole wheat bread works well for this recipe. You can also experiment with multigrain or other types of bread you already have at home.
Can I make this French toast dairy-free?
Yes. Use a plant-based milk such as oat or almond milk, and replace the butter with dairy-free butter or a little neutral cooking oil.

Of course. You can reduce or skip the powdered sugar and adjust the amount of maple syrup or honey according to your taste.
What can I use instead of maple syrup?
Honey is an easy substitute, but you can also use chocolate syrup, Nutella, or fresh fruit. A simple dusting of powdered sugar works well too.
