    I love this time of the year because the makers of soymilk and coconut milk put out one of my favorite seasonal drinks - vegan nog. I love the taste of it so much that I finally got around to making my own.

    Of course, I am biased, but I think the homemade version is much better. It has freshly ground nutmeg and half a vanilla bean in it that takes it over the top.

    This is the time to stock up on those seasonal drinks before the shelves go bare. 

    I made a Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie with the mint chocolate flavor. It is healthier than the mint chocolate chip shakes out on the market, and it is creamy and satisfying.

    This Vegan Eggnog French Toast has enough sweetness from the vegan eggnog that you don't need much maple syrup, if any. I normally drink a detox green juice and a healthy smoothie with vegan protein powder for breakfast, but it is fun to have a sweet treat every once in a while. This would be perfect to serve at a brunch.

    A fun treat for the holidays is my Christmas Tree Rice Crispy Treats.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It is sweet, rich, and flavorful. You don't even need maple syrup!
    • It's made in about 15 minutes with ingredients you probably have on hand.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Vegan eggnog French toast ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Vegan eggnog: I used my Homemade Vegan Eggnog recipe. You could also use store-bought vegan eggnog.
    • Chia seeds: Replaces eggs. Chia seeds help bind the batter to the bread. You could also use ground flaxseeds.
    • Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
    • Gluten-free all-purpose flour: I used gluten-free all-purpose flour because I am gluten intolerant. Any all-purpose flour would work.
    • Salt: Enhances sweetness. I like to use sea salt.
    • Vegan butter: Adds a rich buttery flavor. For cooking the French toast. You could also use coconut oil.
    • Bread: I used gluten-free bread. Use your favorite bread.
    • Maple syrup: For serving.

    🔪 Instructions

    Ground chia seeds in a blender, a large bowl with French toast batter.

    Step 2: Add vegan nog, ground chia seeds, vanilla extract, gluten-free all-purpose flour, and salt into a large mixing bowl that's large enough to hold a piece of bread. Whisk.

    Bread being dipped into French toast batter, then being fried in a skillet.

    Step 3: Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Add vegan butter. Dip the bread slices, one by one into the batter and place in the frying pan.

    Step 4: Fry on both sides until golden brown and crispy. Serve with more vegan butter, maple syrup, and fruit.
