Ingredients:

2 Cups vanilla soy milk (I used vanilla almond milk)
5 Tbsp flour
3 tsp sugar (I left that out)
dash of cinnamon
sliced bread


Directions:

Mix flour, soy milk, sugar, and cinnamon for your batter.  Dip the bread and fry in lightly greased pan (I used a little earth balance) until golden brown.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

side note:  after I took mine out of the pan I put them on a baking pan and let them hang out in a 300 degree oven for 3 or 4 minutes to make sure they were piping hot and nice and crispy.

And I served it with some mango and blackberries- YUM!!!!   I thought this was even better than “regular” french toast!!

Mad scientist…

I spent yesterday afternoon and this afternoon as well in the kitchen channeling my inter mad scientist and baking up a storm!!

First I made these yummy peanut butter chocolate bars from my newly purchased cookbook, The Joy of Vegan Baking.

They are YUM, but I think I’m going to do a little bit of tweaking to the recipe, mad scientist style!

Then it was cupcake time!!

I’ve looked through lots of cupcake recipes and I decided that I should just come up with my own little version!   Then on to some buttercream.  I kind of combined/tweaked two different recipes and came up with something pretty delicious!  I think I want to do a tiny bit more tweaking to it.

Here’s my afternoon creation…

vanilla AND chocolate!  nom nom nom!!!

I need some practice with piping the icing, but other than that they look fab!  I haven’t gotten to try one yet- I’m waiting until after dinner, but I can’t wait!
