Are you an oat milk person?
In the 2+ years since I discovered Oatly, I’ve become an unwavering devotee of oat milk – in my coffee, matcha lattes, cacao, oats (#oatsonoats) and chia pudding. It just so happens to take anything to the next level.
And while you can make oat milk at home, I’ll be honest with you: there’s just nothing like Oatly, and I couldn’t be any more excited to partner with Oatly on this sponsored post to share with you my latest successful experiment: oat milk French toast!
I wasn’t into French toast until recently. My fiancé Eric used his creative genius to get me into it, and the result is both this recipe and a trick that will change your breakfast game once and for all.
One morning, Eric made French toast mix using Oatly, and then realized that there was a lot of unused mix left. He then fried it to make the most dreamy, fluffy, sweet eggs. If you’re an egg eater, make sure you make extra mix and give it a try. And if not – no problem, this oat milk French toast is just as good with the vegan “flax eggs”!
I used Oatly Barista Edition Oatmilk in this recipe, but given that it’s not easy to come by, you can replace it with Oatly Full Fat Oatmilk Chilled. Both options are 100% plant-based with no dairy, nuts or gluten.
Warning: if you start gulping your Oatly straight out of the carton, there might be none left by the time you get to make French toast (been there).

Oat Milk French Toast with Oatly Oatmilk Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Oatly Barista Edition Oatmilk
- 3 eggs (for a vegan version, replace with “flax eggs” – in this case, whisk 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 1/3 cup water)
- 2 TBSP maple syrup
- 1/4 tspn sea salt
- Approximately 6 slices of 3/4 inch toast. I used a sourdough loaf from a local bakery. I recommend using a thick bread like Challah that you can cut into thick pieces. Important note: the bread should be a bit stale! The best way to achieve it is to cut up the bread as soon as you buy it, and wait a couple of days.
- 3 shakes of cinnamon
- Coconut oil, butter or plant-based butter for frying
- Toppings: Fresh berries, maple syrup, hemp seeds
Directions:
- Whisk together oat milk, eggs (or flax eggs), maple syrup, sea salt, and cinnamon. Let the mixture thicken.
- Soak a slice of bread in the oat milk mixture from 2 minutes to overnight (depending on your level of patience), and shake off excess.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan.* Optionally, you can cook your french toast in an air fryer. For air fryer version, cut the bread into sticks, soak each stick in the oat milk mixture, and cook for about 8 minutes total at 350 degrees F (keep checking on it while it’s cooking – every air fryer is different!)
- Fry for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Repeat with each slice.
- Serve warm with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
