Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 Hawaiian rolls
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural), plus extra for drizzling
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Custard: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, plant-based milk, cinnamon (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and a splash of maple syrup (natural) until smooth and fragrant. If desired, stir in a small amount of the natural gelling agent until fully combined for a silkier custard.
  2. Slice the Hawaiian Rolls: Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally to expose the soft, fluffy interior, ensuring slices are thick enough to absorb custard without becoming soggy.
  3. Soak the Rolls: Dip each half-roll gently into the custard, allowing it to absorb for about 20 seconds on each side. Avoid oversoaking to maintain texture and prevent sogginess.
  4. Cook to Golden Perfection: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the plant-based butter. Place the soaked rolls in the pan, cooking each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and caramelized.
  5. Serve Warm: Transfer the cooked Hawaiian Roll French Toast to a plate and garnish as desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the fluffy and warm texture at its best.

Notes

  • Choose fresh Hawaiian rolls for the best soak and texture.
  • Don’t skip soaking time to ensure flavor and moisture throughout.
  • Cook on medium heat for an even golden crust without burning.
  • Use a natural gelling agent for a silky custard coating.
  • Try warming plant-based milk with cinnamon or vanilla before mixing for extra depth of flavor.
