    🧾 Ingredients

    • All-purpose gluten-free flour: You could use another all-purpose flour.
    • Ground chia seeds: Thickens the batter and binds it to the bread. You could also use ground flaxseeds.
    • Cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice: Add the gingerbread spice flavor.
    • Salt: Enhances sweetness. I like to use sea salt.
    • Almond milk: I used unsweetened almond milk because I like to control the amount of sweetener. You could use your favorite dairy-free milk.
    • Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
    • Blackstrap molasses: Adds the gingerbread flavor.
    • Bread: I used gluten-free millet chia bread. Use your favorite.
    • Vegan butter: Adds a rich flavor. You could also use coconut oil to fry the French toast.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe FAQs

    Can you eat leftover French toast the next day?

    If you make all 6 slices of this vegan gingerbread French toast recipe and have leftovers, they can be microwaved within a few days and still taste great.
    If you are not going to make all the slices right away, you can use the batter later, but within 3-4 days.
