Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread (vegan)
- 1 apple, peeled and diced
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the flax egg by mixing ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken and create a binding agent.
- In a shallow mixing bowl, combine non-dairy milk, flax egg, vanilla extract, and whisk thoroughly until well blended.
- Peel and finely dice the apple. In a separate small bowl, mix diced apple with cinnamon and sugar, stirring to coat evenly.
- Remove crusts from bread slices and flatten each slice using a rolling pin to create thin, even surfaces.
- Spread a small amount of apple-cinnamon mixture along one edge of each bread slice.
- Carefully roll each slice tightly, creating a compact roll with the apple filling inside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegan butter or oil.
- Dip each roll into the prepared non-dairy milk mixture, ensuring complete coating.
- Place rolls seam-side down in the heated skillet and cook until golden brown, rotating to ensure even cooking on all sides.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Dust with additional cinnamon if desired.
- Serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top for extra sweetness.
Tips
- Choose day-old bread for easier rolling and better absorption of the milk mixture
- Make sure to remove bread crusts completely for smoother, more uniform rolls
- Press rolls firmly when rolling to prevent them from unraveling during cooking
- Use a non-stick pan to ensure even browning without sticking
- Keep the heat at medium to prevent burning and achieve a golden-brown exterior
- Let the flax egg sit for the full 5 minutes to develop proper binding consistency
- Don't overcrowd the pan - cook rolls in batches for the crispiest results
- Serve immediately for the best texture and warmth
