Why I Love This Recipe

- Whole Grains: I use my favorite whole-grain bread, as opposed to white bread, so these Vegan French Toast Sticks are loaded with protein and fiber. Plus, whole-grain bread yields a much more delicious French toast!
- Healthy Alternative: Store-bought French toast sticks are made with refined flours, cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup, and artificial flavors and preservatives. This homemade version is made with good-for-you ingredients.

Notes on Ingredients
- Whole-Grain Bread: For bread, I prefer to use Ezekiel bread as it’s high in protein and fiber and makes a delicious French toast. You can also use gluten-free bread (or any kind of bread) if needed.
- Milk: Use an unsweetened non-dairy milk like almond or soy.
- Flaxseeds: Ground flaxseeds help create the “batter” without any need for eggs. Be sure to use pre-ground flaxseeds.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: Feel free to omit, but pumpkin pie spice adds a delicious fall flavor to this French toast.

Commonly Asked Questions
Yes! Cook them as usual, let them cool, and then store them in a freezer-safe bag until you’re ready to eat them. Pop them in the toaster or microwave for a couple of minutes until warmed when you’re ready to eat.
These Vegan French Toast Sticks require no eggs because of a bit of ground flaxseeds in the batter which help it to bind, thicken, and hold together beautifully. The flax also helps the bread to get crispy and golden in a pan. No eggs needed! This process is similar to Easy Vegan French Toast.
I recommend using a sprouted bread like Ezekiel whole-grain bread! If you’re gluten-free, don’t worry, you can use any gluten-free bread you like. Other bread recommendations: vegan challah, sourdough, soft bread of any kind, regular whole wheat, etc.
Obviously, French toast needs toppings, so I like to do pure maple syrup and fresh fruit. With these, you can do Veggie Frittata Muffins or Tofu Chickpea Frittata, and Raspberry Chia Pudding.
