We are thrilled to participate in #brunchweek 2020 and contribute some vegan brunch favorites that are simple and delicious! I am sure you can find some “accidentally vegan” or easy-to-alter vegan brunches from the lovely ladies participating this week. Check them out at the end of this post!
I love a simple morning! This is a very low fuss vegan breakfast we whip up in about 15 minutes, which is the best when you are in a rush but want to eat something warm. We don’t use a lot of syrup at home, but if you do, it’s an obvious addition if you are feeling like an extra treat. The egg replacer I like best is not available in the states, but the follow your heart vegan egg, would be the perfect one to use here. This is not a situation where ground flax seed would work particularly well. If you have anise on had, I highly recommend using that version so add some extra warm flavor to this comfort dish!
Hope you love this vegan french toast as much as we do!
