This vegan vanilla french toast recipe is from The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook by PCRM’s leading expert, Dr. Neal Barnard. It’s higher in protein than your average egg-free recipe, thanks to the use of tofu and soymilk. Dr. Barnard also uses agave nectar, which he states is a more diabetic-friendly sweetener.

Dr. Barnard and nutritionist Robyn Webb came together to create this cookbook, which contains 125 healthy recipes. The entire collection is free of animal products (including dairy), low in fat, and maintains a low-to-moderate glycemic index. Most of the recipes are also quite easy and contain easy to find ingredients, like this simple vanilla French toast.
This healthy vegan French toast photo is from Bigstock, because the book is black and white. But this is vegan (no eggs or dairy in the making of this photograph!), and we did obtain visually similar results when tested.
