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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
