Today I slept in a little too late to consider my "breakfast" a breakfast...it was more of an afternoon brunch! I'm not sure if it's the end of senior year causing late nights and early mornings, or the hustle bustle of balancing fitness, cooking, crafting, school, and a social life depriving me of sleep. Maybe it's all of the above? Thankfully I don't mind!
This morning I woke up craving my Wake Me Up Oatmeal, (which you can see
here,
here and
here) however considering the numerous amount of times that I eat that as breakfast I figured I’d switch it up!
Apparently I don’t make that many Breakfast Recipes?!
I know…how could I forget about the most important meal of the day? I
am depreiving all of you hungry followers the simple bliss of Vegan
Breakfast!!
So rather than having something simple like…cereal, oatmeal, smoothie…etc. Why don’t I make a vegan…French Toast?!
The ingredients for this were super simple! It reminded me of the vegan waffles I made, minus the load of oats!
All you need is:
2 Large Ripe Bananas (sliced)
2/3 cup Vanilla Almond Milk
2 or 3 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tbsp Hemp Hearts (optional)
Ezikiel Bread (as many slices needed)
Olive Oil (for pan)
Don't forget to also grease & heat a pan or griddle to a medium heat! I used a griddle at 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Vanilla Almond Milk was used however you can always used unsweetened! Plus I totally recommended that you try making your own almond milk! It is the simplest thing you'll ever make...I promise!
Once you get all those ingreidents together, take out your blender and blend the bananas, almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and hemp hearts until you reach a liquid texture! And then you'll just pour the batter into a bowl!
Next you're going to soak the Ezikiel Bread in the batter. You want to make sure to really cover the whole bread, don't just dip it in...really dunk that bread in and cover it! Let it soak in the batter, I even took a fork and poked at it a little so it soaked into the holes!
Once the bread has soaked in all the batter, cook it on a greased griddle or pan at a medium heat. Don't turn the heat too high or the outside will burn, but the inside will be soggy. You want the bread to cook thoroughly!
Once they're all cooked and ready to eat, I love to top them with fresh fruit, hemp hearts, and Pure Maple Syrup...I think I just found a new favorite breakfast! :)
