Meet your new brunch go-to! Bright and cozy, this healthy plant-based French toast gets its warmth from cinnamon and ginger and a fresh lift from lemon zest. Almond milk adds a subtle nuttiness (though any plant milk works), while chickpea flour and flaxseed meal create an egg-like batter that cooks up beautifully golden. Serve it straight from the pan with maple syrup and a crunchy shower of pepitas or sunflower seeds.

Tips

Gluten-free version: To make this gluten-free, use gluten-free whole grain bread.

Storage: French toast will keep in a covered container in the refrigerator up to 2 days, but it?s best served fresh and hot because it gets soggy after it cools.
