Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 4 thick slices Brioche Bread

Cream Filling

  • 1 cup Plant-Based Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon Natural Gelling Agent
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup (natural)
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Blackberries

Batter

  • 1 cup Plant-Based Milk
  • 2 beaten eggs or egg alternative
  • 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural) (optional)

For Cooking and Serving

  • Plant-Based Butter (for cooking)
  • Fresh Blackberries (to garnish)
  • Maple Syrup (natural) (to drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Filling: Whisk together the plant-based cream, vanilla extract (natural), natural gelling agent, and maple syrup (natural) until thick and smooth. Gently fold in half of the fresh blackberries to keep them juicy and intact.
  2. Slice and Stuff the Bread: Cut thick slices of brioche bread and carefully slice a pocket into each slice. Spoon a generous amount of the creamy blackberry mixture inside each pocket and press gently to seal the filling within the bread.
  3. Make the Batter: In a bowl, combine plant-based milk, beaten eggs or egg alternative, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) if using. Whisk until fully incorporated and smooth to form a rich batter.
  4. Soak the Stuffed Bread: Dip each stuffed bread slice into the batter, coating well but not saturating excessively. Let the bread soak for a few seconds on each side to absorb flavor without falling apart.
  5. Cook the French Toast: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and melt a touch of plant-based butter. Cook the stuffed bread slices for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy, with the filling warmed through and set.
  6. Serve with Fresh Blackberries and Maple Syrup: Place the cooked French toast on plates, garnish with the remaining fresh blackberries, and drizzle generously with maple syrup (natural) for extra sweetness and shine.

Notes

  • Use thick bread such as brioche or challah to hold the filling without falling apart.
  • Allow the bread to soak evenly in the batter for ultimate fluffiness, but do not oversoak.
  • Cook on low to medium heat to ensure the inside heats through without burning the outside.
  • Use fresh blackberries for the best flavor and presentation.
  • Serve immediately for optimal texture and taste.
