Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Filling

  • 4 thick slices brioche or challah bread
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cream
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)

Soaking Mixture

  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)

For Cooking and Serving

  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • Extra maple syrup (natural), for drizzling
  • Fresh blackberries, for garnish
  • Powdered sugar (natural), for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Creamy Blackberry Filling: In a bowl, gently mix the plant-based cream, fresh blackberries, maple syrup (natural), and natural gelling agent until smooth and slightly thickened. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Slice and Stuff the Bread: Cut thick slices of brioche or challah. Carefully create a pocket in each slice by slicing through the center without cutting all the way through. Spoon the blackberry cream mixture generously into each slice and press gently to seal.
  3. Make the Soaking Mixture: Whisk together the eggs, plant-based milk, vanilla extract (natural), and maple syrup (natural) in a wide, shallow dish until fully combined.
  4. Soak the Stuffed Bread: Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, soaking thoroughly but carefully to keep the filling inside. Allow the bread to absorb the custard for about 30 seconds on each side.
  5. Cook to Golden Perfection: Heat plant-based butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the soaked slices in the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. The exterior should be crisp while the interior stays soft and creamy.
  6. Serve Immediately: Transfer the stuffed French toast to plates, drizzle with extra maple syrup (natural), dust with powdered sugar (natural) if desired, and garnish with fresh blackberries.

Notes

  • Choose thick bread slices to absorb custard well without falling apart during cooking.
  • Do not overfill the bread to avoid leaks while soaking and cooking.
  • Cook at medium to low heat to ensure even browning and fully cooked centers.
  • Use fresh blackberries for the best texture and natural sweetness.
  • Serve warm to enjoy the contrast of warm bread and cold berries.
