hazelnut-crusted french toast with banana and “not-tella” from veganomicon. click here for french toast recipe.
Loosely adapted from ‘vegan with a vengeance’ and made to serve 2.
in a wide, flat bowl, whisk together 1/2 c. nondairy milk or creamer (i used so delicious coconut creamer in hazelnut flavor for extra hazelnuttiness) with 1 tbsp cornstarch. on a plate, spread out 1/4 c. hazelnut meal (make your own by toasting and food processor-ing a generous 1/4 c. raw hazelnuts). prepare a large skillet with a thin layer of canola oil, heated over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles on its surface. use 3-4 pieces of bread, dipping each one in the creamer to cover both sides, then in the hazelnut meal on each side so it’s completely coated, before cooking in the pan 2-3 mins on each side, until golden brown.
i served these topped with sliced bananas and “not-tella” from ‘veganomicon’.
