Vegan Custard Toast Recipe

Ingredients:

• 15g Salted Caramel Soy Isolate

• 1/2 tbsp arrowroot powder

• 2 tbsp plant-based yoghurt

• 1/4 cup plant-based milk

2. Mix together the protein and arrowroot powder before adding in the wet ingredients and whisking until smooth.

3. Place 2 thick slices of bread on a baking tray and squish down the soft middle but to create an indentation.

4. Pour in your filling and top with chocolate chips.

5. Bake for 20 mins but keep an eye so the edges of the bread don’t burn and allow to sit for 5-10mins after baking to allow the custard to set.

6. Drizzle with syrup and enjoy!
