Ingredients
  

  • 4 Slices sourdough bread
  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 2 ½ tablespoon Chickpea flour
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder or ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon Flax meal
  • A pinch Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (For Toasting)
  • Maple syrup or Powdered syrup for serving

Instructions
 

Step 1 Make the batter for the sourdough French toast

  • Into a wide bowl add milk, followed by chickpea flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder, vanilla extract, salt, sugar, and flax meal.
  • Now grab a whisk and mix everything until a homogenous mixture is formed.

Step 2 Microwave the batter

  • Take the bowl of mixture and microwave for 30-40 seconds or until the mixture becomes slightly thick. Heat will activate the starch in the batter.

Step 3 Soak the bread in the batter

  • Now take a slice of the sourdough bread and place it in the French toast batter.
  • Let it sit in the batter for 10-15 seconds and then flip and soak on the other side.

Step 4 Toast the soaked sourdough slices

  • Heat a skillet on medium heat and smear with some butter.
  • Now, place the soaked sourdough bread on the skillet. Use a skillet large enough to accommodate two slices at once.
  • Let it toast for 2-3 minutes on low to medium heat. Then flip and let it toast on the other side for the same time or until it turns golden brown.
  • When done, remove onto a plate and repeat.
  • You can serve the sourdough French toast with powdered sugar, fresh berries (like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries), berry compote, whipped cream, brown sugar syrup, maple syrup, and or butter.

Notes

  • Use sourdough bread that has even crumbs. Avoid using the ones with wide-open crumbs.
  • Replace chickpea flour with cornstarch or egg mixture. 
  • You can use honey in place of sugar if you want. 
  • To make them plant-based, use margarine or coconut oil for toasting. Also, use coconut sugar to replace caster sugar and oat milk instead of dairy milk. 
  • You can add the spices of your choice. Replace cinnamon with a teaspoon of ground nutmeg if you like. You can make a pumpkin latte spiced French toast or gingerbread spice mix.
  • The cinnamon powder will initially stay afloat and take some time to saturate and mix. Simply keep whisking.
  •  Adjust the microwave duration according to the power of your microwave You just need to heat the mixture so that the starch starts to thicken.
