Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half horizontally
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), cinnamon (natural), and natural gelling agent until smooth and lump-free to create a rich custard base.
  2. Slice the Hawaiian Rolls: Slice each Hawaiian roll in half horizontally to form thick, fluffy slices that can soak up the custard without falling apart.
  3. Soak the Rolls: Dip each slice into the custard mixture, soaking for about 10 to 15 seconds on each side, allowing the bread to absorb enough liquid without becoming soggy.
  4. Cook the French Toast: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt plant-based butter to coat the surface. Place the soaked slices onto the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and caramelized.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the French toast from the skillet carefully, plate it, and add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup (natural), or a sprinkle of nuts.

Notes

  • Use fresh Hawaiian rolls for the best texture and custard absorption.
  • Do not oversoak the rolls to prevent them from breaking during cooking.
  • Cook over medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  • The natural gelling agent helps achieve a creamy yet sturdy custard texture.
  • Prepare toppings in advance to serve the French toast warm and fresh.
