Ingredients
  

French Toast
  • 6-8 slices sliced bread
  • 1 cup plant-based milk we used oat milk
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp flax seeds
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • plant-based butter for frying
Ricotta
  • 1 cup raw cashews soaked, unless using a high power blender
  • 1-2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2-3 tbsp water (as needed to thin to desired consistency)

Method
 

French Toast Batter
  1. In a shallow baking pan, whisk together the plant-based milk, cornstarch, ground flaxseeds, baking powder, cinnamon, maple syrup and vanilla.
Ricotta
  1. Place the cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, powdered sugar and salt in a blender with a bit of water. Blend until smooth and creamy, add water no more than a teaspoon at a time, to thin until it reaches the consistency of ricotta cheese. Scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula.
Assemble
  1. Cut the crusts off your bread slices. Then flatten with a rolling pin.
  2. Spread one tablespoon of filling onto each slice of bread.
  3. Roll up one slice of bread and dip into the French Toast batter.
  4. Place a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat and add the butter. Place cannoli rollups in the hot pan and repeat for remaining slices until the pan is full.
  5. Cook 3-5 minutes, turning the rollups so they brown evenly on all sides.
  6. Remove and plate, dusting with additional powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup.
    Enjoy!
