For more holiday-worthy cranberry treats, try our healthy cranberry coffee cake or our cranberry banana bread.
French bread: we use a loaf of French bread that’s crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. Pretty much any bread will work though like sourdough, multigrain, or even gluten-free bread. Milk (of choice): you can use any non-dairy milk like almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. Ground flax seeds: ground flax seeds work as a binder to replace the eggs. They’re also a healthy source of fiber and omega 3’s. Nutritional yeast: nutritional yeast might seem like a surprising ingredient but it gives this breakfast casserole an egg-y taste that’s hard to replicate. It’s a trick we learned from Love and Lemons and now it’s a staple in any egg-free French toast recipe we make. Cinnamon: we add a sprinkle of cinnamon for a touch of warm spice and sweetness. Sea salt: sea salt enhances all the wonderful flavors. Cranberries: fresh or frozen cranberries both work for this recipe. Just avoid using the canned variety.
You only need two ingredients to make the cranberry maple syrup:
Maple syrup: only real maple syrup will do! Cranberries: fresh or frozen cranberries infuse the maple syrup with their bright tart flavor.
Here’s how we make it in a few simple steps:
Add a few white chocolate chips for an extra-sweet touch (just make sure they’re vegan). Serve it with vegan vanilla coconut yogurt or coconut whip on the side. Grate some orange zest and add a few tablespoons of fresh orange juice to the milk mixture because cranberries and orange are delicious together! Dust the casserole with some powdered sugar before serving. The kids will think it looks like snow!
And don’t forget the brunch drinks! Try this Christmas mimosa for a boozy festive treat. Our dairy-free nutella latte is sure to please. Or turn our Irish cream latte into a vegan treat by using oat milk and Baileys Almande.
