Can You Make French Toast with Almond Milk?

Yes! I love using almond milk when I make French toast for breakfast because I find that its nutty flavor complements the recipe very well. While I sometimes make French toast without milk, I prefer almond milk, and if you use vanilla-flavored almond milk, it’s even more delicious!

Ingredients

As the classic French toast, this recipe uses thick bread, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. To make it dairy-free, you’ll use the almond milk you typically buy, whether it is regular or vanilla, sweet or unsweetened.

Best Bread to Use for French Toast

Thicker bread slices work best for French toast because they soak up the milk and egg mixture without falling apart. Some favorites to use are Texas Toast, Italian bread, sourdough, and cinnamon raisin bread.

How to Make Almond Milk French Toast

Combine all the ingredients in a large shallow dish with a fork or a blender. Soak each slice of bread for approximately 30 seconds per side, one by one. Cook them on a non-stick pan for 2 minutes on the first side and 1 minute on the other. Serve the cooked French toast with your favorite toppings and drizzle with syrup! 

    How to Top Your French Toast

    From fresh fruit, like banana slices or berries, to one of these epic toppings, French Toast makes the perfect base! I also love changing up my syrups; and using cinnamon syrup, strawberry syrup, and blueberry syrup!

    Ingredients

    • 6 eggs
    • ¼ cup almond milk, your favorite
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • Pinch salt
    • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    • 8 thick slices of bread
    • Syrup, for serving

    Instructions

    Make the soaking mixture:

    • In a large, wide bottom bowl, beat eggs, almond milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon with wire whisk until smooth.

    Dip the bread:

    • Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture for about 30 seconds, just enough to soak up some of the mixture on each side but don’t soak it for too long.

    Cook the French toast:

    • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, grease with oil, spray, or butter (omit if dairy-free).
    • Immediately, place several bread slices on the greased hot pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, and once golden, flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side. Repeat this process with the remaining bread slices and soaking mixture.

    Serve:

    • Serve the cooked French toast slices with your favorite toppings and syrup.

      The almond milk adds a subtle nutty flavor to the dish and makes it extra creamy. It’s a perfect way to elevate a classic breakfast favorite.
