    Today I'm sharing an easy, delicious and quick Pandan French Toast recipe! It's really simple to make and only requires five ingredients!

    Pandan French Toast

    My pandan french toast recipe is perfect for breakfast or brunch. My toast is also dairy-free! I love making it when I want to make my french toast more exciting!

    If you've never tasted pandan extract before I highly recommend trying it! It's really lovely and it tastes like vanilla with a hint of citrus!

    This recipe was inspired by my travels to South-East Asia specifically Malaysia and Singapore where pandan is frequently used in many of their dishes and cuisine, especially in their desserts. In fact, pandan is used in this delicious spread called kaya that is very popular in South-East Asia. It tastes like a thick, sweet, coconut-based spread with hints of that wonderful pandan.

    How I first learned about Pandan?

    When I first met my husband's family who originates from Malaysia, I got to try these delicious Pandan Crepes! I will never forget the first time I tried them because they were soft, chewy and had that gorgeous pandan aroma.

    From that moment I was hooked and I had to make everything Pandan flavoured! So look out, I'll be producing more recipes with this wonderful flavour!

    What is Pandan?

    Pandan is a herbaceous tropical plant that grows in Southeast Asia. It's a very fragrant plant thanks to it's vanilla and floral grass scent.

    The plant looks similar to a palm with vibrant green leaves that are long and pointy. The leaves are utilized for their delicious taste in many Thai and Southeast Asian Dishes. Pandan is usually sold as an extract, paste or powder to flavour treats.

    How is Pandan used?

    It's commonly used to flavour many Thai or Southeast Asian desserts, such as cakes, jellies and more. Sometimes the leaves are used to wrap sticky with as the flavour seeps into the sticky rice making it taste wonderful!

    Where can I buy Pandan Essence?

    You can usually buy it from the Asian supermarket on online. Just search online for "Pandan Leaf Essence" or Extract. I would not recommend using the powders unless you're familiar with using them.

    For this recipe

    You'll need the following ingredients for this French pandan toast recipe:

    • 1 egg
    • ¼ teaspoon pandan extract or essence
    • 1 tablespoon oat milk
    • 2 pieces stale bread of choice
    • coconut oil for cooking

    How to make Pandan French Toast

    Below are instructions on how to make this:

    1. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, pandan extract, and oat milk. Dip your slices of bread into the egg mixture.
    2. On a pan set on medium heat, pan fry your french toast on both sides until golden brown, approximately 3 minutes. Serve with fresh fruit, vegan butter and maple syrup. Enjoy!

    Give it a try!
