Ingredients
1 cup almond milk
2 tablespoons tahini (or almond butter, cashew butter)
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1–2 tablespoons coconut oil (for frying)
4 slices thick crusty bread (Kamut bread recommended; gluten-free bread optional)
Instructions
-
Whisk together almond milk, tahini, ground flax seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and maple syrup in a shallow bowl until smooth.
-
Heat coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
-
Dip each bread slice into the batter, soaking briefly on both sides without becoming soggy.
-
Cook bread slices in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve immediately with toppings like fresh fruit, maple syrup, or powdered sugar.
Notes
Substitute tahini with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter for different flavor.
Add nutmeg or cardamom for extra spice warmth.
Use gluten-free or whole grain bread to meet dietary needs.
Serve with vegan yogurt, fresh berries, or drizzle with agave nectar.
Add almond or coconut cream to batter for richer taste.
Best served fresh; store leftovers up to 1 day refrigerated and reheat gently in skillet or toaster oven to retain crispiness. Avoid microwaving.
