Recipe: Tofu-Banana French Toast
After yesterday’s post, I’ve had several requests for the vegan French toast recipe I use. It was originally inspired by The Imus Ranch Cookbook, but I’ve tweaked it a bit to make it my own. Enjoy!
Tofu-Banana French Toast
(Serves 1)
Adapted from The Imus Ranch Cookbook
Ingredients:
-2 slices whole wheat bread
-3 oz silken tofu (such as Mori-Nu)
-0.5 medium banana
-0.25 c milk of choice
-0.5 t quality vanilla extract
-0.25 t cinnamon
-0.5 packet of stevia
Method
1. Coat a large skillet with non-stick spray and place over medium heat.
2. Meanwhile, combine all ingredients except bread with a hand blender or food processor. Mix until smooth and velvety.
3. Pour batter into a wide, shallow dish or plate. Coat bread evenly with the mixture. There will likely be leftover batter, which you may choose to eat straight as pudding:)
4. Place battered bread in skillet, and cook until both sides are browned evenly.
5. Top with your favorite fruits and nuts, such as bananas, berries, cherries, pomegranate seeds, almonds, walnuts, Sunbutter (as pictured above), even PB & J.
6. Eat with glee.
Notes:
-While I recommend using silken tofu for this recipe, practically any tofu will work. Just be sure to puree well if you choose to use a firmer variety.
-I know it’s a bit annoying that the recipe calls for only half of a banana—I usually use the other half as topping, so I don’t have a half banana hanging around my kitchen.
-I typically use unsweetened almond milk for the batter,but rice, soy, and hemp have all worked equally well.
-Because the batter is vegan (and extremely tasty), I often eat it straight as a pudding, or I’ll incorporate it into other dishes:

Hello and welcome! I have created this blog for people who love food, especially healthful, vegetarian food.
I currently attend college in North Carolina, where I am studying English and psychology, although I plan on pursuing an additional degree in nutrition after I graduate. Ideally, I would like to combine my love of food and the written word someday as a health writer.
That sounds delicious! I bet the tofu makes it really thick. I wouldn’t have though to use it.
yummy. This sounds really good!!
Whoa. Just whoa. Looks incredible. I never would have thought to make a tofu french toast topping. Though I think I almost love the idea of it in oat bran even more!
That recipe looks fantastic!
Mmmm this looks delicious!
OMG That looks so flippin good!!!!!!!!!!
Too bad I cannot cheat on gluten (bread) or soy in that much quantity. I made a choc pudding that many people make with soy/tofu but I use avocado and although it sounds gross, it’s really good. Now I am wondering if I could use that for the batter. But the color would be so ugly LOL
Anyway great job, this looks amazing and w/ SunBut on top. Be still my heart
Mmm, looks delish! Thanks for sharing : )
Thanks so much for posting the recipe! And, I love the variations!
Thank you so much for posting the recipe, Caroline! Serving the batter as pudding? Genius!
Gosh, this looks amazing. I love french toast and I very much appreciate this recipe!
bah! can not even handle that french toast — I just made some for myself as a matter o’ fact .. but it looks invredibly inadequate compared to yours!!
