Instructions

To a shallow container large enough to accommodate two slices of bread, add plant milk, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until combined.
Slice the bread into 1 inch or 2.5 cm thick slices. You'll need 6 slices.
TIP: if you don't have one-day-old bread you can use fresh bread and let it dry for 15 minutes in the oven at 180F or 80C.
Melt a tablespoon of vegan butter in a nonstick pan. While the pan warms up, soak two slices of bread in the batter.
TIP: soaking time depends on how old the bread is and on the type of bread. In my case I soak it for a good minute, on each side, till the liquid gets dip into the bread. If you have a softer bread, you might want to be faster. Make sure the bread absorbs the liquid, without getting mushy and falling apart.
Transfer the bread onto the hot pan and cook on medium to low heat until golden brown and crisp, then turn it around and do the same.
It should take you 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
TIP: you can add as much bread as you can fit in your pan. If the pan gets dry, add more vegan butter.
Arrange the toasted bread onto a serving plate, I do two slices per serving.
Dust with powdered sugar, add a piece of vegan butter on top, a few berries and drizzle with maple syrup.
