Usually my mornings are a haze, stumbling around in the morning light, grabbing a cup of coffee and throwing the easiest breakfast on my plate or in my bowl. Surprisingly, this morning I bounded out of bed with thoughts of pumpkin french toast bubbling around in brain.

Vegan Pumpkin French Toast (single serving)
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
drizzle of almond milk
pumpkin pie spice
sweetener to taste (I used a packet of Stevia)
vanilla extract
two pieces of thick bread (semi-stale bread works great!)
Mix together all of the ingredients, besides the bread. Use enough of your non-dairy milk to smooth out the pumpkin puree. Take your bread slices and dip them into the mixture. Coat each side with the pumpkin mixture. Fry the bread in a non-stick skillet, until browned and crisped.

This is a great recipe! I love french toast. Over my decadent breakfast, I drizzled a bit of agave nectar. It gave the meal the perfect amount of sweetness. I had a little extra pumpkin mixture so I made a couple extra pieces and froze them for a quick, special breakfast when I don’t have quite as much time. I served my two slices of toast with apples that I diced and coated in pumpkin pie spice.
Now I’m off to get supplies for my baking project at the grand opening of Whole Foods in the town over! I was going to wait it out a couple days since I imagine it’s going to be very crowded, but I’ll take my changes. I think it’s my duty as a food blogger to make sure I check it out today. I’ll just keep telling myself that..

that looks really yummy and easy to make!
What is the difference between flax seed and flax seed meal? ( I realize the meal is just ground up, but are they interchangeable in recipes?)
Nicole // November 11, 2009 at 12:05 pm |
oops, i meant ground flax! i always just assume ground up flax, i don’t think i’ve ever used whole ones

Love this easy recipe! Looks delicious and perfect for a Thanksgiving morning, perhaps. Hope the new WF wasn’t too much of a zoo.

What a yummy concept! I’ve often put pumpkin on top of my vegan French toast, but I never thought to put it in the batter.
