Description
This easy French toast without milk is still rich, golden, and delicious—perfect for dairy-free mornings using pantry staples. Crispy outside, soft inside, and ready in minutes.
Ingredients
4 slices thick bread (day-old works best)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup water or orange juice
1 tablespoon maple syrup or sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Butter or oil, for the pan
Optional toppings: fresh fruit, syrup, powdered sugar
Instructions
1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, water or orange juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
2. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
3. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides well.
4. Place dipped bread on the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Repeat with remaining slices.
6. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Orange juice adds a subtle brightness—water works great too.
Use dairy-free butter to keep it fully dairy-free.
Try with cinnamon-raisin or sourdough bread for extra flavor.
