How do you make this dairy free french toast?
Making dairy free french toast is actually very easy to do. If you are making homemade bread, then you’ll want to start by making that. Otherwise, you just need your favorite dairy free bread.
Blend or whisk together all the ingredients in a large, flat container. You want a flat container versus a bowl because it’s easier to make dairy free french toast when you can lay the bread flat to soak up the mixture.
After you’ve blended the ingredients together, let the mixture sit for 15-20 minutes.
In a skillet, melt some dairy free butter or coconut oil over medium heat. Dip a slice of bread in the dairy free french toast mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes or under golden brown, then flip and cook under golden brown on other side.
Top with any favorite toppings or just some delicious syrup!

I am cooking for one, can I store this for later use? If so, how should I store it?
Hi Anita! Yes you can! Cook it as directed and then you can either leave in the fridge for a few days in an air tight container or store in a freezer bag/container for up to 3 months. Just heat up as needed
