Vegan Stuffed French Toast

Vegan Stuffed French Toast is a delightful brunch dish featuring soft, golden-brown bread enveloping a creamy, sweet filling made from cashews and bananas. This indulgent yet healthy treat is perfect for a cozy morning or a brunch gathering.

Ingredients

• Whole grain bread - 4 slices
• Raw cashews - 100 grams (soaked for 2 hours)
• Ripe banana - 1 medium
• Maple syrup - 2 tablespoons
• Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Almond milk - 1/2 cup
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon

• Coconut oil - 2 tablespoons (for frying)
• Fresh berries - 100 grams (for topping)

Steps

1. In a blender, combine soaked cashews, ripe banana, maple syrup, cinnamon, almond milk, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Blend until smooth and creamy to create the filling.
2. Spread the cashew-banana mixture evenly onto 2 slices of whole grain bread, then top with the remaining 2 slices to form two sandwiches.

5. Remove from the skillet and slice in half. Serve warm, topped with fresh berries and an extra drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
