This easy vegan eggnog french toast recipe is the perfect breakfast this holiday season! It's ready in under 10 minutes, only has 6 ingredients and it's delicious! The whole family will love it!
I'm not even going to lie, before going vegan I may have had eggnog once in my life. The entire concept of eggnog sounds weird to me. Raws egg, cream, and spices... not exactly the most appetizing sounding food in the entire world. Now that I'm vegan though the concept sounds a lot better! Oat, almond or coconut milk with spices to make it feel like you're drinking a glass of Christmas? Sign me up!
French toast is a staple in my household. For the longest time, I was using Liv B's tofu french toast recipe, but now that Just Egg is available in Canada french toast has become even easier. I figured 'why not combine three things I love; vegan eggnog, french toast, and Christmas.
That's where this vegan eggnog french toast recipe was born, so I hope you enjoy it this holiday season as much as we do, no matter which holiday you're celebrating!
Pair this recipe with our Vegan Christmas Latte recipe to really get into the holiday spirit!
How to make Vegan Eggnog French Toast
Obviously, the vegan eggnog is the star of the show in this recipe and you may be asking which vegan eggnog is best? The answer to that is completely personal preference and doesn't really matter for this recipe. I used the "So Delicious Holiday Nog", which is coconut-based, in this recipe but I actually prefer the "Earth's Own Oat Nog" however it hadn't been released yet for the year when I was making this recipe. So whichever vegan eggnog you use will work just fine.
The other star of this recipe is Just Egg pourable scramble, but you may not have access to that yet. If you don't I'd recommend following Liv B's french toast recipe for the base and then continuing on with this recipe!
- Start by heating a pan/griddle on medium heat with some butter in it. In a deep dish (preferably a pie pan) mix all the french toast ingredients together except the bread. Once the pan is heated and the butter coats the bottom, submerge a piece of bread in the egg mixture and flip so both sides are coated then place in the pan. Fill the pan with as many pieces as you can. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they're golden brown and then flip for another 3 minutes. If you're cooking multiple batches or have a smaller pan so you can't fit them all in at once, the cooking time will decrease the longer you heat the pan and the more batches you make.
- Transfer the cooked bread to a plate and repeat for the remaining pieces, adding butter to the pan between each transfer.
- Top the vegan eggnog french toast with your toppings of choice (see below) and serve immediately.

* The % Daily Value tells you how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a daily diet. 2,000 calories a day is used for general nutrition advice.
This nutritional value chart is from using all of the ingredients in the recipe minus any toppings because everyone has different tastes and will add different toppings. If you are watching your calories or nutrients make sure to factor in which toppings you add as well.
I often talk about using processed foods on the blog and how you should try to limit the intake of them. That being said not all processed foods are created equally, and sometimes in processing foods nutrients can be added (see tomato sauce). However, a lot of the time processing foods often strips of their nutrients.
This recipe is a glaring example of processed foods being void of nutrition. We used three processed ingredients in this vegan eggnog french toast recipe and you can see on the nutritional table how significantly it affects the micronutrients. White bread is pretty void of nutrition (but it sure tastes delicious).
That being said, the nonvegan version would be the same or worse because they'd be using eggs that contain cholesterol which is harmful in elevated quantities.
Some bright spots from this vegan eggnog french toast recipe nutritionally though is the fact that it contains six grams of protein per piece (and could contain more depending on the bread you use). It also contains 17% of your daily iron per piece. Adding fresh fruits as your toppings would add some good fiber, micronutrients, and lots of antioxidants as well.

Had some of the soy eggnog and wanted to make French toast. Happy I found this recipe! Didn’t have just egg but I did have another company’s vegan egg in liquid form and turned out delicious! Topped with maple syrup, coconut whipped cream and berries

There’s nothing better than being able to cook a holiday staple with my family, just vegan so all of us can enjoy it! Brioche bread works best IMO. This French toast recipe has so much flavour, I don’t even use syrup on top. I will be serving this on Christmas Day!
