This rich sweet French Toast with Vegan Nog recipe doesn't even need maple syrup it is so good!
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 have three seasonal flavors in my fridge right now, including mint chocolate, nog, and pumpkin spice. So maybe I will get around to making some more recipes with them.
I did recently make a Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie with the mint chocolate seasonal drink. It is healthier than the mint chocolate chip shakes out on the market, and it is creamy and satisfying.
This French Toast with Vegan Nog has enough sweetness from the nog that you don't need much maple syrup, if any. I normally drink a green juice and a healthy smoothie for breakfast, but it is fun to have a sweet treat every once in awhile. This would be perfect to serve at a brunch.
