Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s a look at everything you will need, including ingredient substitutions. The measurements can be found in the printable recipe card below.

• Plant milk. I used unsweetened oat milk, but any non-dairy milk will do (soy, cashew, coconut, almond, etc.)
• Orange juice. You can use freshly squeezed or bottled. If using bottled, you can choose with pulp or without.
• Sweetener. All types of sweeteners will work – pure cane, coconut, date, or brown sugar. Pure maple syrup would be delicious! And for zero sugar, try monk fruit sweetener.
• Vanilla. Can omit if using vanilla flavored plant milk.
• Cinnamon.
• Vegan butter or oil. Use your preferred ingredient for greasing the griddle or skillet.

Choosing The Best Bread For Vegan French Toast

Using the right bread to make vegan french toast is essential! I’ve had the best luck with dense, hearty bread such as sourdough, French or Italian loaves, and round artisan bread, cut into 3/4 – 1 inch thick slices (1/2 inch pre-sliced loaves should be ok too). These breads are sturdy and can stand to be dipped in liquids. Unlike the majority of sandwich breads typically found in the bread aisle, which tend to get soggy in an eggless batter.

How To Make Orange French Toast

This vegan Orange French Toast recipe is SO easy to make!

• Slice the loaf of bread into 3/4 – 1 inch thick slices.
• In a shallow bowl, combine the orange juice, non-dairy milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon.

• Dip the bread on both sides and cook on the griddle or skillet for 2 – 3 minutes per side, or until golden on each side.

And now you’re ready to enjoy vegan french toast with fragrant orange made simple, straightforward, and quick!

The result is golden, flavorful slices of pillowy soft deliciousness. I ❤️ orange-french toast!

Serving Suggestions

• Serve orange french toast with pure maple syrup for a simple meal.
• Add fresh orange slices for freshness and color.
