This French toast has the best flavor. I love the tang of the lemon and sourdough mixed with the sweetness of the raspberries and pure maple syrup. One of the best things about this recipe is that it’s made Vegan-no eggs! (Although it has the same texture as French toast with eggs). 

Ingredients: Serves 4-5

“Egg” Mixture

• 1/2 package firm tofu (1/2 package=7 oz)
• 1/4 cup raw cashews
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla 
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• Sprinkle of turmeric
• Sprinkle sea salt

Additional Ingredients/Toppings

• Drizzle of avocado oil (for the cooking pan)
• 1 loaf Sourdough bread 
• Raspberries
• Pure maple syrup
• Peanut Butter
• Coconut whipped cream (optional)

Directions:

1. Blend all “egg” mixture ingredients in a Vitamix or high speed blender* until smooth.
2. Heat a skillet on the stove on medium heat. Add a drizzle of avocado oil and move it around.
3. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or plate. Dip the bread into the mixture (both sides) and cook on the skillet until golden. Flip and cook the other side.
4. Top with raspberries, pure maple syrup, and any additional toppings. I love adding this Coconut Whipped Cream!

*Note: If you do not have a Vitamix or high speed blender, soak the cashews in hot water for 15 minutes before blending to soften them.
