Vegan French Toast

A great breakfast. (If using gluten-free bread, this is also gluten-free!)

1-2 bananas

1/2 cup dairy free milk

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 tsp cinnamon

1 Tbsp vanilla

1/2 tsp nutmeg

Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth.

Place in a shallow brown to soak bread slices.

Soak slices on both sides, then place on a greased, heated griddle.

Fry as normal, 2-3 minutes per side, until browned as desired.

Serve with vegan butter and maple syrup, as desired.

Coconut Bacon (GF)

Something gluten-free to add to salads, sandwiches or other things.

3 cups coconut

2 Tbsp tamari

1 Tbsp maple syrup

2 tsp liquid smoke

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Add 2 Tbsp oil to frying pan over medium heat.

Add all ingredients to the pan.

Fry for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until crispy.

Store in a covered jar to use on salads, sandwiches or in recipes.

Vegan Cheddar Cheese (GF)

A great gluten-free cheese topping, or to make Mac & cheese.

2 cans coconut milk

3 tsp agar agar powder

1 tsp balsamic vinegar

2 tsp sea salt

3 Tbsp tapocia starch (flour)

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/4 tsp liquid smoke

1/4 cup nutritional yeast

pinch turmeric


Add milk, agar, vinegar and salt to pan.

Combine and boil for 2-3 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients – whisking constantly.

Boil gently for 15 minutes- continuing to whisk constantly.

Remove from pan and pour into a greased or parchment-paper lined loaf pan, and refrigerate.


Once set, it can be sliced for sandwiches and/or melted on (for example) pizza.

If using immediately (such as in macaroni & cheese), there is no need to refrigerate it – you may just add it to the recipe.
