    Kinako French Toast (Vegan + GF)

    Last updated - July 15, 2021; Published - September 27, 2015 By Rhian Williams 2 Comments

    This Kinako French Toast is soft and pillowy on the inside, crispy on the inside and has a lovely nutty kinako flavour.

    I must admit I wasn't expecting it to be so delicious, but the flavours work perfectly together. The kinako powder really adds to this recipe by making the bread extra crispy on the outside, whilst adding a lovely nutty sweetness.

    You can use any kind of oil to fry the bread - I think coconut oil works particularly well here as it adds a lovely rich taste and makes the French Toast really crispy!

    This recipe is pretty healthy compared to normal French toast and is great for dessert, breakfast, brunch or even an indulgent snack!

    Kinako, which means "yellow flour" in Japanese, is roasted soybean flour. It's a really healthy topping and flavouring ingredient as it's full of protein and Vitamin B. You can buy kinako powder in Asian supermarkets.

    This Kinako French Toast is lovely served with maple syrup and fresh fruit - blueberries or raspberries work particularly well.

    You could also serve it for dessert with a scoop of Matcha Ice Cream!
