Your brunch dreams are about to come true with this veganized and caffeinated classic.
Put your hands up if you love french toast!!! Think super thick, crusty bread, dunked in a sweet vegan custard then little pan-grilled until golden fluffy perfection.

The perfect weekend brunch, mid-week treat, and everything in between. Made under 15 minutes, this will be your new go-to impress. Super quick and easy to make, it’s easy as ABC.
Let’s get into it.

- Place the bread into your creamy custard and completely cover
