= French Toast Directions =

In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat milk, maple syrup, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, cinnamon, nutmeg, and kosher salt. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish or pie pan.

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat with some coconut oil or vegan butter.

Dunk a slice of bread in the batter for a few seconds on each side, ensuring the bread is soaked. Then flip the bread and repeat.

Once the skillet is hot, cook each slice of bread for ~{2%minutes} or until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Serve with pure maple syrup and, if desired, the Simple Berry Compote (instructions below). Or, you can add some vegan whipped cream on top!

= Simple Berry Compote Directions =

Place the berries, sugar, and orange juice in a saucepan, and cook on medium-low heat for about ~{10-15%minutes}, gently smashing down the berries as the mixture cooks. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 10 minutes until thick and jammy.

You can prepare the compote in advance and store in the fridge.

> If you don’t have day-old bread, here’s how to quickly dry out your bread slices. Place your bread slices on a wire rack in the oven at 300°F / 150°C and bake for 6-8 minutes per side.
