This rich sweet Vegan Eggnog French Toast recipe doesn't even need maple syrup it is so good! Made in 15 minutes, it is perfect for the holidays.

French Toast with Vegan Nog vertical birds eye view.

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 recently made 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 Vegan Eggnog French Toast has enough sweetness from the nog 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.

❤️ 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.
It's perfect for the holidays, but since it's made with homemade eggnog, you could have it anytime you're in the mood!

🧾 Ingredients

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.
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.
