Cook time: 50 min
This decadent Vegan French Toast Bake can be prepped the night before or same day! It has all the flavors of traditional french toast and then some, with a decadent, crunchy, sweet topping.
INGREDIENTS
1 day old large loaf (14-16 ounces) french or sourdough bread*, cut into 1 inch cubes (about 10 cups)
12 ounces silken tofu
(1) 13.5-ounce can full fat coconut milk
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup truvia
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
pinch salt
TOPPING
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup oat flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp vegan butter, cold
DIRECTIONS
Prepare the bread: Cut the bread into 1 inch cubes. I do this by first slicing the loaf, then cutting into smaller cubes. Lightly grease a 9 by 13 inch casserole dish, and add the bread cubes to it.
Make the filling: In a blender, add the silken tofu (drained of water if needed), coconut milk, cornstarch, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Blend until smooth.
Pour the filling over the bread cubes. Using your hands, press the bread down into the filling a few times, until the bread is soaked in it. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours. You can also bake it immediately.
In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Make the topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Then cut the vegan butter in with a fork or your fingers. Sprinkle this over the top of the casserole.
Bake, uncovered, for 40-50 minutes, until golden brown on top and cooked throughout.
Sprinkle with a dusting of powdered truvia sugar and serve with sugar free maple syrup. Dig in!
