This vegan French toast with banana makes such a delicious and easy breakfast for the weekend! It’s moist, sweet, filling, and ready in only 5 minutes!

I’m actually not a huge breakfast person, but I sure love vegan pancakes or vegan French toast once in a while. Making French toast without milk and eggs is absolutely possible and it works pretty well! My vegan French toast with banana is the perfect proof! 

Can Vegans Eat French Toast?

No, traditional French toast is only vegetarian not vegan. So it’s not suitable for vegans.

Traditional French toast consists of slices of bread that are soaked or dipped in eggs and milk and fried in butter or oil afterwards. Some recipes also call for cream instead of milk. Sometimes sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon are added to the batter.

What Is Vegan French Toast?

However, it’s pretty easy to make vegan French toast without milk and eggs. For my recipe, I used a batter with mashed bananas, almond milk, cinnamon, and natural vanilla extract.

The mashed banana serves as a great egg replacement in this recipe. And at the same time it’s also an awesome sweetener. Bananas are just the best! No eggs or dairy needed!

This Vegan French Toast Is:

• moist
• banana-flavored
• easy to make (5 minutes is all you need)
• sweet
• perfect for the weekend
• cinnamony
• comforting
• so delicious
• filling
• perfect for banana lovers

• almond milk

• coconut oil

As always, you can find the full ingredient list and detailed recipe instructions at the end of this post. 

How To Make Vegan French Toast:

The recipe for my vegan French toast without milk and eggs couldn’t be much easier! You need only 5 ingredients and 5 minutes to make this easy and filling breakfast!

Just follow these three simple steps:

STEP 1: Mash the banana with a fork in a shallow bowl and add the almond milk together with the cinnamon and the vanilla extract.

STEP 2: Cut the white bread into thick slices.  Then dip each slice of bread into the banana almond milk mixture for about 10 to 15 seconds.

STEP 3: In a large pan, heat some coconut oil over medium heat and cook each side until golden. For me, this took about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Vegan French Toast – Recipe Notes:

• I used white crusty bread for my vegan French toast. I recommend using sourdough bread or ciabatta bread. You could also use French bread, but then your slices will be much smaller. The recipe will also work with whole wheat bread, but the texture will be different.
• I wouldn’t recommend using actual toast or toast-like bread for this recipe.
• It’s best to use day-old bread. It will soak up more of the batter without falling apart. Older bread is also fine, but I wouldn’t recommend using freshly bought bread.
• I like my vegan French toast best with coconut whipped cream and fresh berries. But it’s also great with jam (for example homemade strawberry chia jam), more fruits, or maple syrup.
• I tried different kinds of oil for my vegan French toast. My favorite by far was coconut oil. It worked best in getting the vegan French toast nicely browned. And it also added some great coconut flavor, which blended perfectly with the rest.

We enjoyed this vegan French toast together with homemade coconut cream, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries and it was sooo good. Plus it was ready in just minutes! Oh, and don’t forget to top it off with some extra cinnamon. I can never get enough of it! And its smell!! Double yum!!
