Plant-Based Blueberry French Toast is the ultimate vegan weekend breakfast. Sweet blueberries make a delicious syrup for soft, fluffy French toast slices.
French toast is such a great weekend breakfast treat - it feels super fancy and sophisticated, but it's super easy to make. Definitely not an every day type of food, but still delicious and (if you do it right) still fairly nutritious.
This Plant-Based Blueberry French toast is extra fancy with the addition of a blueberry compote. The compote itself isn't that complicated though - basically, you just heat up some blueberries in boiling water and reduce them down for a few minutes to create a delicious sauce that still has whole blueberries in it, but is a thick, syrupy texture. So good!
Of course, you also have to top this French toast with some more blueberries (fresh if you can get good ones) because why not? Blueberries have so many nutrients and antioxidants that it's worth it to throw on a few extra. Plus they're delicious!
The compote is super simple just a few ingredients:
Step 1. Slice the bread into 1" thick slices.
Step 2. In a medium bowl, mix the milk, maple syrup, flaxseed, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour the mixture into a large, flat pan or dish. Let sit 5 minutes.
Step 3. Meanwhile make the blueberry compote. Boil the water then add the blueberries and cook 2-3 minutes until the blueberries burst. Add the date syrup and lemon juice and cook 2-3 more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4. Soak each piece of bread in the milk mixture for about 20-30 seconds per side. Then heat in a non-stick pan on medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Repeat until all the slices are cooked.
Step 5. Stack the French toast on a plate and top with blueberry jam, fresh blueberries, and maple syrup. Enjoy!
Thank you God for fresh fruit and elegant, delicious breakfasts. Bless this meal. Amen.
