French Toast

French Toast

It’s a beautiful sunny Bank Holiday Monday so we thought we’d make something a bit nicer for breakfast. We discovered while doing so that we have different ideas of what French toast is. To me it used to be a savoury lunch tinged with a bit of cinnamon, while to Conor it’s a sweet fruity type thing for breakfast. We ended up trying two recipes because of this.

Recipe 1: - 3/4 cup soya milk - 1/2 banana - 2 tablespoons flour - 1 tablespoon chickpea flour (can be omitted) - Spices: cinnamon, nutmeg.

Recipe 2: - 3/4 cup soya milk - 1 tsp egg replacer (mixed as per box) - 2 tablespoons flour - Spices: cinnamon, nutmeg

1. For both recipes, we just mixed all the ingredients together, making sure banana is mashed in.

2. Then we dipped bread in so both sides of the slice of bread are covered. Each slice is then put into a pan with a little oil on medium heat until slightly browned.

Trying both recipes, we could both agree the second one tasted more like egg- made French toast and I must with a cringe say I prefer it, though I dislike using egg replacer. The first one also comes out great though more sweet, and I’d say could do so if you leave out the chickpea flour even. I’d be tempted to try it with avocado or a more savoury thing instead of banana...
