My husband was saying recently that French toast sounded good. However, our son is severely allergic to eggs, and can’t have traditional French toast. So I decided to set out to make a variety that he could enjoy with the rest of the family. This eggless French toast fits the bill!

French Toast - no eggs

I often use cornstarch in my breading recipes, because it crisps up so nicely. It’s also perfect as a thickener in sauces, gravies, and egg free cheesecakes (I have egg free classic, pumpkin, and lemon cheesecake varieties – see all three recipes here!). It also helps keep cookies nice and soft – like these Top 8 Free Chocolate Chip Cookies! This made cornstarch seem like the perfect option to thicken up the egg free French Toast batter.

A little bit of sugar sweetens up the batter, and I think further helps with the golden brown color. Cinnamon and a touch of vanilla extract also adds to the dessert-like flavor most expect with a classic French Toast.

I have an egg free banana french toast recipe on my blog, but my 1 year old daughter has FPIES to bananas, so that one is also out for now.I wasn’t sure what to expect when I set out to make an eggless French Toast, but I was very happy with the results this time! I’ve made other egg free varieties in the past, but they never made it past the trial stage.

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time7 minutes
Total Time12 minutes
Course: Breakfast
Servings: 8 slices
Author: Lisa Ngo, Safely Delish

Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk (or your favorite dairy-free milk)
  • 6 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2-3 Tbsp butter or margarine
  • 6-10 slices thick-sliced bread (number of slices will depend on bread thickness – I usually get around 8 thick slices, or 10 for standard sandwich bread)

Instructions

  • Preheat griddle to 350F, or heat a pan over medium heat.
  • In a large, flat bottomed bowl, whisk together cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon, and 1 cup of the milk. Whisk until cornstarch is dissolved, scraping the bottom as necessary to prevent cornstarch from sticking.
  • Once cornstarch is incorporated, stir in remaining milk and the vanilla. This will be the eggless French Toast batter.
  • Melt 1-2 Tbsp butter on skillet.
  • Dip one slice of bread into batter, and immediately flip to soak the other side. Do this step quickly (ie: don't allow to sit in the batter for too long), or your bread may become over-saturated. Immediately place battered bread onto skillet. Repeat with remaining slices.
  • Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown. Flip, and cook the other side for 2-4 minutes, or until golden brown (the first side seems to cook faster, since the griddle is freshly heated). Re-butter your skillet with each batch.
  • Serve warm, with maple syrup and toppings of choice. We love ours with berries and whipped cream!

Notes

To make this eggless French Toast dairy free – substitute your favorite dairy-free milk in place of regular milk, and use DF margarine in place of butter.

      Cornstarch is what gives this recipe the French Toast consistency. I haven’t tried an alternative to the cornstarch myself, but I know some use arrowroot starch in place of cornstarch in other recipes. It may be worth a try!

      Hello! I’ve never tried freezing our French Toast, but I think it would work out. After cooking, I’d try freezing in a single layer. Once frozen, seal the frozen French toast slices in an airtight baggie.
