Epic Vegan French Toast PB&J Sandwich
Behold, the most epic vegan French toast PB&J sandwich.
Vegan coconut-crusted French toasts, stuffed with caramelized bananas, peanut butter, strawberry jam, granola and raspberries. I told you, it’s epic.
I originally made this recipe for a contest I did with Crofter’s Organics jam. The contest is now live on Instagram, so check it out for a chance to win a Crofter’s gift pack. All you need to do is tell us which sandwich you like best: Mine or Crofters’. It’s that easy.
Now, let’s talk about this sandwich.
Believe it or not, but it’s not as complicated as it looks. Here’s how it goes:
- Make the French toast: The French toasts are made with plant-based milk, vanilla and coconut. Dunk the bread in the milk mixture and cook on a buttered pan just like regular French toasts.
- While the French toast are cooking, caramelize your bananas. It takes 5 minutes and they’re caramelized with orange juice. No sugar involved here!
- Layer the French toasts with peanut butter, your favorite jam (I used the fruit-sweetened jam from Crofter’s), caramelized bananas and raspberries.
- Top with granola – Bonus if you make it homemade. I love using my date-sweetened granola (minus the spices).
- Close the sandwich and enjoy!
This sandwich is the most incredible sandwich I’ve ever had and I warn you, it’s messy. I recommend eating it like French toast, with a fork. It makes it a lot easier. Just think of it as a stuffed French toast. There’s no going back to the original PB&J sandwich.
