Enjoy a decadent plant-based breakfast with this thick, crispy vegan French toast. Topped with a warm, bursting blueberry maple syrup, it's the perfect weekend brunch treat that everyone will love.
Prepare the blueberry compote by combining the blueberries and maple syrup in a small saucepan. Heat gently over medium-low heat until the berries begin to pop and release their juices, then remove from the heat and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the gram flour, ground almonds, cinnamon, golden caster sugar, oat or rice milk, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth batter.
Heat a small amount of grapeseed oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Dip a slice of bread into the milk mixture for a few seconds on each side until coated but not falling apart. Shake off any excess batter and place in the hot pan.
Fry the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy at the edges. Keep the finished slices warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining bread.
Serve the French toast warm, with the blueberry maple mixture spooned over the top and a light dusting of icing sugar.
For the best results, use slightly stale bread as it holds the batter better without becoming soggy. Gram flour (chickpea flour) is the secret to achieving a thick, 'eggy' texture in vegan recipes. If you don't have grapeseed oil, any neutral-flavored oil like sunflower or vegetable oil works perfectly.
