  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

  7. Remove from heat and plate the tofu French toast.
  8. Top with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
  9. Drizzle with extra maple syrup and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use black salt for an eggy flavor, or regular salt if unavailable.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup used.
