What Makes It Vegan?

How do you make French Toast with out eggs or milk? Aren’t those normally the main ingredients in French Toast? For our Vegan Pumpkin Spice French Toast we use banana as the binder to replace the eggs that are normally used in French Toast. This gives the French Toast a warm banana bread flavor that is naturally sweet. The milk is replaced with a blend of almond milk and non-dairy pumpkin spice creamer. The pumpkin spice creamer adds needed liquid to the batter and just a touch of fall flavor. You can still make this without the almond creamer but I like the added flavor boost. If you can’t find pumpkin spice non-dairy creamer try looking for one with caramel or vanilla.

What Do You Need To Make Vegan French Toast?

To make the French Toast batter you need a Magic Bullet or some other type of small blender. We use our Magic Bullet blender way more than I thought we would we we first got it. It’s great for making quick sauces and salad dressings. This recipe uses the blender to puree the banana and mix it with other ingredients for a smooth lump free batter.

You also need pumpkin spice seasoning! For the pumpkin spice I used Simply Organic Pumpkin Spice. You can make your own spice blend but I love the convenience of a premade blend. If you want to make your own Love & Lemons has a good recipe. I put this organic pumpkin spice on everything! Its great in oatmeal, yogurt, or lightly sprinkled on peanut butter toast for an easy breakfast.

How To Make Vegan Pumpkin Spice French Toast

Making this dairy-free and eggless French toast is incredibly simple. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Blend the batter: In your Magic Bullet or small blender, combine the banana, non-dairy pumpkin spice creamer, almond milk, vanilla extract, and pumpkin spice seasoning. Blend until completely smooth and lump-free.
2. Prep the bowl: Pour your freshly blended pumpkin spice batter into a wide, shallow mixing bowl that is large enough to easily dip your bread slices.
3. Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add a pat of vegan butter or coconut oil. Allow the pan to fully heat and melt the butter, this ensures a beautiful golden crust and keeps the toast from sticking.
4. Dip the bread: Working in batches of three slices at a time, quickly dip each piece of bread into the batter. Make sure both sides are evenly coated, but don’t let it soak too long!
5. Cook until golden: Place the batter-coated bread slices into the hot skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes, then use a spatula to flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side until both sides are perfectly golden brown.
6. Repeat and serve: Move the cooked French toast to a platter and repeat the process with your remaining bread. Serve warm with plenty of maple syrup and a light dusting of extra pumpkin spice!

Frequently Asked Questions About Vegan French Toast

Can I use a different fruit instead of a banana?

The banana acts as the “binder” to replace eggs, providing that thick, custardy texture. If you aren’t a fan of banana flavor, you can substitute it with 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree. Just note that the batter may be slightly thinner, so dip the bread quickly!

What is the best type of bread for vegan French toast?

For the best results, use a thick-cut, sturdy bread. A loaf of sourdough or a vegan-friendly Challah or Brioche works beautifully because they can soak up the batter without falling apart. If your bread is a day or two old (slightly stale), it’s even better!

I can’t find pumpkin spice creamer; what should I do?

No problem! You can use an equal amount of plain almond milk (or oat milk) and add an extra teaspoon of Simply Organic Pumpkin Spice and a splash of maple syrup to the blender. This will give you that same warm, spiced flavor profile.

Why is my French toast soggy?

Soggy French toast usually happens if the bread is soaked for too long. Since this vegan batter uses banana and almond milk, it is quite thick. A quick dip—about 5–10 seconds per side—is all you need. Also, ensure your skillet is preheated with vegan butter so the outside sears and crisps up immediately.

Can I make the batter in advance?

Yes! You can blend the batter in your Magic Bullet the night before and store it in an airtight jar in the fridge. Just give it a quick shake or stir before using it the next morning, as the spices may settle at the bottom.
