Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes

Total time: 20 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

3 Clementines

250 ml Minor Figures Oat Milk 

25 g Cornflour

1 tbsp Flax seed

1 tsp Baking powder

1 tsp Vanilla extract

1 tbsp Ground cinnamon

2 tbsp Caster sugar

4 tbsp Vegan butter (for cooking )

2 tbsp Olive oil (for cooking )

4 slice Thick sliced loaf bread

Maple syrup (for serving )

Recipe:

  1. Make the batter: In a shallow bowl, wide enough to hold a piece of bread, whisk together the oat milk, zest of the clementines, cornflour, ground flaxseeds, baking powder and vanilla.
  2. Prepare the clementines: Peel the skin off and separate the segments removing any of the bitter white membranes. Set aside.
  3. Make the cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and caster sugar. Set aside. 
  4. Cook the french toasts: Add a little bit of vegan butter and a little oil to a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and melt. Whisk the batter again right before dipping bread, as the cornflour will settle to the bottom of the bowl. Work one toast at a time to avoid getting soggy bread.
  5. Dip a slice of the bread in the batter until covered - do not over soak the bread slice. Place the french toast in the pan and move it around for a few seconds until the bottom creates a thin layer of crust which will prevent the toast from sticking to the pan. Cook for a minute, or until golden brown then flip the toast on the other side and move the toast around in the pan for a few seconds again until a thin layer of crust is created. Add more vegan butter/oil to the pan as needed in between pieces of bread.
  6. Serve: As soon as the french toast comes off the pan, finish it with a light sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, fresh clementine segments, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!
