Why I Love This Recipe

Kid-Friendly: What kid doesn’t LOVE french toast?! Make them these homemade Vegan French Toast Sticks and they’ll be asking for them again and again!
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.

How do you make Vegan French Toast Sticks?

Add the milk, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla and flaxseed into a bowl and whisk well.
Heat up a non-stick pan, or grease a pan, on medium heat. Cut the bread into ~2 inch strips.
Dunk each slice of bread into the milk mixture.
Lay them on the pan and pan-fry on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm with pure maple syrup and enjoy!

Commonly Asked Questions

Can I freeze Vegan French Toast Sticks for later?

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.

How do I make French toast without eggs?

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.

What kind of bread should I use to make Vegan French Toast Sticks?

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.

What should I serve with Vegan French Toast Sticks for a full meal?

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.

“These french toast sticks were amazing. The best part was dipping them in maple syrup!”

Extra Helpful Tips

Use gluten-free bread if you are gluten-free.
Serve these sticks with 100% pure maple syrup for dipping or topping.
Do not soak the bread sticks in the liquid mixture as they’ll absorb too much liquid and become soggy… just a quick dunk!
Make Berries & Cream Collagen Booster Smoothie or Protein Brownie Overnight Oats next!
