Most of the time I’m not feeding an entire house of vegan guests. The food may be absolutely delicious, but I’ve got at least a few loved ones who will turn their noses up at the mere mention of tofu, even though I make a mean tofu-based savory brunch (as demonstrated by my tofu scramble, huevos rancheros, and shakshuka). I’ve served this one to plenty of non-vegans and it’s always a hit. Nothing scary here! Bread, bananas, walnuts, brown sugar…most people love these things in a brunch! Easy BrunchAlso, brunch can be a lot of work, which can really cut into my lazy, treasured Sunday mornings. But this dish doesn’t have to! You have the option of doing all the work a day ahead, then just baking it right before serving. Easy! What You’ll Need
How to Make Vegan French Toast CasserolePrepare by tearing your bread into bite-sized pieces. You ideally want to use bread that’s a day or so old, so it’s a little bit stale. If you bread is fresh, don’t worry! Just tear it up and pop it into the oven at a low temperature (around 200°F) for a few minutes to dry it out. Now make the batter. For this you’ll be using your bananas, non-dairy milk, coconut milk, cornstarch, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Blend everything up in a food processor or blender.
Melt some vegan butter and spread it into the bottom of casserole dish, then sprinkle the butter with a little brown sugar. Transfer your bread pieces to the dish and pour your batter on top. Gently use a spoon to distribute the batter evenly. Finally, sprinkle the top of your casserole with some chopped walnuts and brown sugar.
From there, you can bake your casserole right away, or cover it up and refrigerate it, then bake it the following day. The casserole is finished when the top is crispy with some dark brown spots. Serve your casserole with vegan butter, fresh fruit, and a drizzle of maple syrup!
