Eggless French Toast

Who doesn’t love a thick stack of french toast with a drizzle of maple syrup? This eggless french toast tastes just like the classic but without the eggs.

Eggless French Toast

It’s hard to imagine breakfast-life without french toast. It’s savory, sweet, light, crispy and all the things one would want for breakfast. Unless, one is allergic to eggs; then, you need an egg-free french toast that is nearly as good as the original.

How to Make French Toast Without Eggs

This egg-free version exceeds every expectation of classic french toast with its hearty slices of toast and their light, airy middles, and crispy, sweet crusts. Sounds just like the classic version, right? And it tastes like it too!

While preparing a batch of egg and dairy-free pancakes, I wanted to see if I could accomplish the same delicious results with french toast. Lucky for you, I was right!

This eggless french toast recipe has all the bells and whistles as far as taste and texture but to achieve this without eggs, I made the batter with milk, cornstarch, and vanilla.

The starch thickens the milk and helps the batter to hold on to the bread. It also yields perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside toasts that lack the eggy texture, french toast can have.

Eggless French Toast Ingredients

The bread is what really makes this dish so make sure to use a hearty, thick sliced version which holds the liquid and creates pillowy soft middles. After all, that is what we’re going for.

I also recommend using regular full-fat milk for this french toast, skim is not the same. If your family is dairy-free you can make this with almond or coconut milk.

Can You Freeze French Toast?

Like pancakes, waffles, and muffins, this french toast holds up great in the freezer.

Once cooked, allow the french toast to cool down to room temperature before wrapping with plastic wrap or parchment paper. Place the slices in a freezer bag and freeze for 1 to 2 months.

How to Reheat Eggless French Toast

To bring this breakfast back to life you can reheat it in the toaster or in an oven at 375F for 8 to 10 minutes.

If you want to make this breakfast more like the pre-packaged frozen french toast sticks kids seem to adore, you can cut the cooked french toast into strips, freeze as directed and heat when ready to serve.

You can feel good about serving them homemade french toast and they get to “dunk them”, it’s the best of both worlds.

Best French Toast Toppings

No stack of french toast is complete without the necessary toppings and that decision is up to you! My family enjoys a drizzle of maple syrup with sliced strawberries but here are a few other topping options:
