Vegan Bourbon Peach French Toast
Hello & Happy Saturday!!
Every weekend I do a brunch concept and this weekend, I wanted to mix it up! I typically gravitate towards a good biscuit, muffin, or pancake, but I love a good french toast. My only request is that it has to be a fun flavor concept!
With spring in full swing, but having limitations on food options, I wanted to create a flavor combination that features canned fruit.. and the vegan Bourbon Peach Pancakes were born! Believe it or not, I can’t even remember the last time I’ve had bourbon, but I love having notes of it in desserts and or french toast. So even if you’re not fond of alcohol I promise, it makes this dish!
When it comes to making a vegan french toast there are various approaches to creating and eggless batter. Some use flax, others corn starch, tofu, or some just skip it altogether. eggs really give you a crisp edge on the french toast, but you can easily replicate that with the ground flax. if you love the egg flavor, you could also throw in nutritional yeast if desired. Needless to say, you can make a really fb french toast without eggs!
What’s fab about this french toast, is simply everything! It’s quick, easy, packed with flavor, features canned peaches, is affordable, has peaches even in the batter, is perfect for any season, has aesthetic appeal, notes of bourbon, perfect for entertaining, you could turn into a french toast bake, you can add toasted pecans, and it’s just hands down my latest obsession!
