SWEET VEGAN (BANANA) FRENCH TOAST WITH RASPBERRIES & MAPLE SYRUP.

to make this you’ll need:

• one long baguette, preferably on the stale side! sliced diagonally.
• 1 ripe/over-ripe banana
• 1 cup of non-dairy milk
• 1/3 cup plain flour
• a teaspoon of cinnamon
• optional: a splash of vanilla paste (or vanilla essence) 
• optional: a tablespoon of maple syrup
• oil for frying, i used canola

1. mash the banana! add the milk, flour, cinnamon & vanilla paste and whisk thoroughly into a smooth batter (some lumps are ok though!!).

2. pour batter into a small baking dish & place baguette slices cut side down to soak up. approx. 1 minute each side.

3. oil a large fry pan & fry your soaked baguette slices on low heat. turn up to low-medium after a few minutes. when nicely browned, flip & repeat! serve with maple syrup & your choice of fruit, preserves or condiments!!
