I am intrigued by the concept of vegan french toast. What substitutes do you recommend for eggs to keep the texture authentic?
Hey Alex_92, not the author but I usually go for banana or chia seeds as a binder. Works like a charm!
Vegan breakfast casserole sounds interesting but I doubt it can beat the classic. How do you even simulate the egg layer?
