Easy French Toast

This morning, I really wanted to make the Fronch Toast from Vegan with a Vengeance, but I didn't have any chickpea flour in the house, and I was hungry and needed it *now*. So I did this instead (and boy, was it ever worth it).

1 banana
2/3 cup soy milk
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 dash nutmeg
several hefty sprinkles of salt
1 tsp nutritional yeast

2-3 slices of stale or very lightly toasted bread
2 Tbsp canola oil

fresh or frozen strawberries
maple syrup

Blend the banana, soy milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and yeast together until they form a frothy, smooth batter. Soak bread in the batter. Heat the canola oil to medium high, then fry the soaked toast for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until crusty and golden. Meanwhile, put the strawberries in a small saucepan and just cover with maple syrup. Heat for a few minutes, or until the strawberries are heated through and the maple syrup is reddish.

Serve immediately, with strawberry syrup drizzled over each toast piece. Divine!
