Everyone loves french toast, it’s no secret. But kids and the nostalgia as adults love french toast sticks. Today we’ll be showing you how to veganize them into vegan french toast sticks.
This recipe is simple and easy once you had your bread
We prefer to use a loaf of vegan challah bread or vegan brioche bread.
These breads are softer and fluffier than others, especially store bought brands, so we highly recommend you doing that. Other than making bread, you just need to whip together your batter, dunk and baked to perfection.

VEGAN FRENCH TOAST STICKS INGREDIENTS:
Below are notes about the ingredients before we get into the full recipe located lower in this post on how to make this vegan french toast sticks.
- Bread – We would highly suggest making our vegan brioche or vegan challah recipe ahead of time before making this recipe; however, you could use a store bought bread as well. The brioche and challah are insanely soft breads which just elevate this recipe into another universe.
- Silken Tofu – since this is a vegan recipe without eggs, we need something that mimics that texture and silken tofu does it beautifully
- Dairy Free Milk – you can use your favorite variety. We would suggest using an unsweetened variety.
- Ground Flaxseed – this is helping act as our binder to replace the egg in addition to the silken tofu. It also gives a very subtle nutty taste which pairs so well with the peaches and blueberries
- Cinnamon, Nutmeg & Vanilla – our “seasoning” and aromatics of the recipe that are needed for every great french toast recipe
SUBSTITUTIONS AND VARIATIONS:
For the french toast, you’ll need:
- Bread – While we highly recommend either the brioche or challah, you could also try our easy vegan bread recipe. Additionally, you can use a store brand vegan bread however, it will be much thinner. Lastly you could make this with out vegan chocolate babka or vegan cinnamon babka recipes.
- Silken Tofu – If you want to omit the soy, you can use 2 ripe bananas, mashed, coconut cream (thick part of canned coconut milk), applesauce, or even a pumpkin or sweet potato puree.
- Vanilla – switch it up for subtle flavor difference and replace or do half and half of other extracts like almond, lemon or orange
- Peaches and Blueberries – Try swapping the peaches for other stone fruit like plums or cherries and the blueberries with raspberries, strawberries or blackberries
