Almond French Toast

Serves 6

Tofu combines with almond butter, cinnamon and almond milk in this tasty egg-
and dairy-free version of a well-loved classic. This toast browns best when
using a non-stick cooking surface. Serve with a dollop of soy vanilla yogurt
topped with fresh sliced strawberries for a scrumptious start to your day.

1 cup vanilla almond milk
2/3 cup mashed plain firm tofu (about 1/4 of a pound)
2 Tbsp smooth roasted almond butter
1/4 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
12 slices bread (whole grain or white, as desired)
6 Tbsp lightly toasted sliced almonds
sprinkling of powdered sugar for garnish

Preheat oven to 200 F. Place a large dinner plate in the warmed oven. Combine
the almond milk, tofu, almond butter, almond extract and cinnamon in a
blender. Puree until completely smooth. Pour into a wide shallow dish. Heat a
non-stick skillet that has been lightly sprayed or oiled over medium high
heat. Dip each piece of bread, one by one, into the almond milk mixture. Drain
excess almond milk mixture before placing on hot skillet. Cook French toast
until just browned on the bottom (a couple of minutes), turn, and brown the
other side. Adjust heat to medium, if necessary, to prevent burning. Place in
the oven on warmed plate while preparing the remaining pieces. Serve with
toasted almonds and a light sprinkling of powdered sugar.
