Instructions
Slice bread into ¾” to 1” thick pieces and allow them to dry out. For a quick dry, lightly toast the bread in a toaster for 1-2 minutes without browning it.
Whisk together plant-based milk, chickpea flour, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and kala namak to create the eggy batter.
Transfer the batter to a shallow bowl.
Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are coated, then place them on a separate plate to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter.
Once the bread has rested, dip each slice into the batter again for a few seconds to coat both sides.
Immediately transfer the bread to the heated skillet.
Cook each side for about 5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 5 minutes.
Continue this process until all the bread is toasted, adding more butter between each batch.
Serve topped with maple syrup and fresh berries.
Notes

Stale, dry, or lightly toasted bread is best to prevent sogginess, especially with denser bread varieties like vegan brioche or challah.Coating & Double Dipping: Dip bread in the eggy mixture, rest to absorb, then double dip for optimal flavor infusion and a perfect crust. This method works particularly well with Italian loaf slices.Cooking Tips: Use ample butter for a golden brown crust. Cook in batches, leaving toast undisturbed for optimal cooking. Lower the heat as needed if it seems like the toast is cooking too fast.French Toast Batter: I always end up with extra batter. It really depends on the size of the bread loaf. If you have batter left over, store it in the fridge for a few days and make more toast later.Storage: Vegan French toast can be stored in an airtight container or zip-lock bag in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Leftover toast can also be frozen for up to 2 months.Reheating: Reheat leftover vegan French toast in the oven or air fryer at 400°F for about 4 minutes on each side.
