Sourdough is all the rage these days. The fermentation process makes it easier to digest than other types of bread, and it also yields more nutritional benefit. With the trend towards healthier eating, people are constantly looking for better alternatives to their favorite foods. Zoodles and bean pastas have replaced wheat spaghetti, smoothies have taken over milkshakes, and now sourdough is dominating the bread market.

I personally love trying new health trends, so obviously I had to hop on the sourdough bandwagon. The only problem is that I don’t eat a ton of sliced bread, since I prefer pita bread and tortillas. There is, however, an exception on weekends when I make brunch: then there’s always bread involved, whether it’s avocado toast, peanut butter toast, or French toast!

I figured that sourdough would be good for making French toast – since it has a nice crust – but I didn’t realize just how good it would be! It turns out that sourdough has just the right amount of sturdiness to produce a creamy, but not soggy, French toast with a nice, crisp exterior.

My favorite French toast batter is super easy to make and uses only wholesome ingredients. There’s no eggs, dairy, or refined sugar anywhere in this recipe! I do like to top my French toast with a little bit of light CocoWhip and powdered sugar though, so it’s not totally refined-sugar free. If you like, you can stick to pure maple syrup and berries! Either way, I know you’ll love this vegan sourdough French toast.
