Start the Day Off Right

I love breakfast, but it's not often that I have the time to really put some effort into it. 

This weekend I was visiting my sister and we made a absolutely scrumptious breakfast that I just had to share with you.

Vegan French Toast with Fall Fruit Compote

Ingredients

4 slices white bread
1 cup almond milk
2 tblsp cornstarch
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tblsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tblsp vanilla
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 a zested orange
Canola oil

Directions

Pour your milk into a large mixing bowl, add the cornstarch and mix until evenly distributed.
Add the flour and mix again, it's okay if it's a little lumpy.  Then add in all the spices.

Toast your bread lightly in the toaster so that it gets a light crunchiness to it.
Soak the bread in the almond milk mixture until it starts to get spongy.

Heat a large skillet on medium high heat with a light layer of canola oil on the bottom.
Cook each piece of bread for a few minutes on each side.  The bread should be golden brown on each side with flecks of dark brown.

We served our french toast with a pear, apple, and cranberry compote that my mom had made earlier in the week. 

Sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top and enjoy!
