There’s something magical about slow, cozy mornings — the kind where sunlight filters through the curtains and the house is still quiet. That’s when I crave something warm and comforting. This Instant Pot French Toast was born on one of those mornings when I wanted to spoil my family but didn’t want to turn on the oven or stand at the stove.
One day, after testing a few plant-based versions of French toast, I decided to try it in my Instant Pot — and wow! It turned out perfectly soft, custardy inside, with just the right amount of sweetness. Since then, it’s become our family weekend favorite. Best part? It’s vegan, gluten-free, and absolutely divine. You’ll never guess it’s dairy- and egg-free.
