For a lazy Saturday with friends, there’s nothing like French toast. Our local baker, Karin, makes spelt müseli bread that’s got almost as much fruit in it as whole grain and that’s basically a dog whistle for vegans like me. I used a product called Mom’s Vegan Kitchen French toast mix along with some almond coconut mix.
I found this product straightforward and easy to prepare. I combined the mix with almond milk and grapeseed oil as recommended on the package and soaked sliced bread in it.
In the pan it created an egg-like film on the surface of the bread and had a beautiful toasted look and smelled DIVINE. It didn’t have the bitterness of dairy milk or the sulfur flavor and odor of egg but all the other delightful flavors you’ll find in French toast.
We topped it with Rivermede farm maple syrup (above) alone and with frozen wild blueberries (below).
It was all delicious. I would definitely buy this product again. I don’t know any carnists that would turn this down either. This is a perfect comfort food for when you’re feeling a little lazy but want something decadent. We bought this for just under $6 which I thought was very reasonable for what you get at Vegan Essentials. This website was instrumental when I first became vegan and I totally recommend them. They research all of their products so you know it’s vegan and they are independently owned. I’m about to mow down some more French toast.
This is Melissa, Brent and Christie, signing off!

I’m coming over for some more!!!
Any time, madam. We can stew some cherries to put over the top!
Yum
THis looks fantastic. I need to find some of that mix….never seen it before. I have yet to find a vegan french toast that I’ve truly enjoyed…..
I like to add some pumpkin spice and a touch of vanilla when I’m in the mood. It’s a good product but if you ever find a better one I’m very interested. 🙂
I love the coconut addition as well.
I haven’t made vegan french toast, because it seemed well, impossible. Glad to know there’s a mix out there! Thanks for keeping us all informed!
Likewise! I’m working on my own interpretation… 🙂
Oh! Please share!
Don’t worry, I will. It’s mostly bananas, arrowroot starch and almond milk so it’s got a banana character but I’m experimenting with tofu, flax meal and applesauce too.
Hey, I like banana characters. And the tofu characters too. I’m seeing a 4 way post sometime in the near future…
