With its crispy exterior, and irresistible filling, this vegan Biscoff Stuffed French Toast is the perfect way to start the day. A decadent breakfast the whole family will love!
Tis the season to be curvy, fa la la la la … la la la la. This stuffed French toast might not be an every day type of breakfast but once in a while it’s good to treat yourself right? And sometimes the soul needs a good dose of crunchy, chewy, sugary carbs. With extra syrup. And whipped cream.
It’s also a deceptively easy dish to recreate and comes together in literally a few minutes.
Annnddd, full disclosure. I didn’t actuallly use Biscoff when making this. But Aldi Biscoff Knockoff Stuffed French Toast doesn’t quite have the same ring.
The Aldi “Biscoff” also has bits of crushed biscuit in it and is, IMHO, actually superior to the original.
How to make stuffed French toast:
The bread you use can be pretty much anything. But you want it to be reasonably thick – either pre-sliced or if slicing yourself. It’s also a good way to use up any stale bread might have.
For each sandwich (this recipe makes 2 sandwiches) spread one slice of bread with the Biscoff (or Aldi knockoff) then top with another slice of bread, pressing down lightly to make sure they’re stuck together.
In a shallow bowl (something like a pasta bowl if you’ve got one) mix together the milk, cornflour, ground flax, baking powder and spices until there’s no lumps of cornflour remaining.
On a plate mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
Heat a little vegan butter in a large frying pan. Dip the sandwiches one at a time in the milk mixture, turning to make sure all sides are well coated then gently place in the frying pan. Repeat this with as many sandwiches as you can fit in your pan with room to flip.
Cook over a medium high heat for 4-5 minutes or until golden on the underside, then carefully flip over and cook the same on the other side.
Lift out of the pan onto the cinnamon sugar plate and turn to coat each side.
Serve immediately. I also pan fried a couple of pears and whipped some vegan cream to go with my stuffed french toast because clearly I didn’t think they were decadent enough!
