Baileys and Black Tea French Toast – crispy and soft, this vegan French toast is richly steeped in black tea and Irish cream, making this a brunch – perfect toast!

 

Baileys and Black Tea French Toast @spabettie

I have told you about the time we were able to get almost the whole first class cabin of a flight to change their drink order to Baileys and coffee. Baileys and coffee was also a standard mid morning indulgence when we were snowed in for three weeks a few years back. We’d go on walks in the snow, come back home, start a fire and enjoy a coffee.

I have a new favorite Baileys drink!

Baileys and black tea.

Served in the ceramic version of my favorite New York deli cup. Everything tastes better in the New York deli cup.

Very easy, really. Not even a recipe.

I brewed my favorite black tea. I added a couple shots of my homemade Baileys to it.

Mmm, this is my newest obsession. I may have to wait until Saturday to enjoy this as a Valentines breakfast… and I’ll have to wait until my nursing shift is over, but we will have this with breakfast.

We will also have french toast.

You can just go ahead and make an extra cup of Baileys and tea, then use part of it for the french toast batter. Then, you know, enjoy the rest. Cheers!

Baileys and Black Tea French Toast

dairy, egg and gluten free, vegan

makes six pieces

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 container (6 ounces) silken tofu
2 shots Baileys Irish Cream*
1/3 cup steeped black tea
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla
6 pieces your favorite gluten free bread

INSTRUCTIONS:

*substitute Baileys (and tea) for your choice of milk – I have made this with coconut milk

Combine all ingredients in food processor. Thin with more liquid as necessary (silken tofu varies in consistency). Pour into shallow bowl, dip bread pieces into batter and cook on a griddle over medium heat, a minute or two on each side, until cooked through and golden.

Serve with coconut spread (or butter), maple syrup and fresh fruit. Earth Balance coconut spread melts just like butter, and is so tasty good.

As a vegan, I used to think french toast was just not going to be. Oh how I love french toast – and it’s one thing that reminds me of great breakfasts shared with Grandpa Z.

I can once again make french toast – this is as good as any I’ve ever had. Great for a Valentines, or the Saturday following…

Happy Valentines Day!

    To remain gluten free, what kind of bread do you use?

      hi Ally, most often I buy loaves from our local gluten free bakery (New Cascadia Traditional); right now my favorite store bought brand of gluten free bread is Franz – they have two or three flavors, a multigrain, a white, and a raisin I believe. delicious and VERY soft, has the attributes of a “regular” slice of bread!

    this is very great. first I thought wasn’t going to work, it takes a while to cook and is almost fluffy? it did work, however, and is very very great.

    Our dream bakery should serve french toast on the weekends 😉

    Love the idea of tea and Baileys! Wait actually, perhaps that is another weekend menu item 🙂
