Easy Sunday Morning French Toast

French toast is a Kindfood classic but it’s a challenging dish for cooks who are trying to make plant-based, gluten-free meals. Breakfast in general is difficult if you’re avoiding animal products. Erinn developed this recipe at home to satisfy Michael’s insatiable cravings for French toast; he missed it after he moved to a plant-based diet.
