| Right after we started dating, my boyfriend (now husband) surprised me with homemade French toast for breakfast. I knew right then he was a keeper. After we were married and vegan, my husband created this recipe so he could still make me French toast on the weekends. Serve it with Tofu Scramble (pg. 18), Breakfast Sausage Patties (pg. 140), and fresh strawberries or bananas.

| As a girl who grew up on frozen waffles, I still crave the ease of a frozen waffle and the sweet taste of maple syrup at breakfast. This recipe fits the bill perfectly and is my go-to breakfast any time I want French toast or waffles for breakfast but don't have the time to make them.

tsp vanilla or banana extract (optional)
1 banana, sliced
1. Lightly toast bread.
2. While it's toasting, whisk syrup, cinnamon, and extract together. It takes a little elbow grease and a lot of whisking to fully incorporate, so keep at it.
3. Plate toast, smear syrup mixture across both slices of toast, and let it soak in, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
4. Top each slice with fresh banana slices and garnish with a light drizzle of pure maple syrup or agave nectar, if desired.

| This is my easy pancake recipe. The batter pours beautifully, so you always end up with perfectly shaped pancakes. They're thin, much like silver dollar pancakes, but still fluffy. I like to add fresh banana slices or frozen blueberries to the batter.
