The Best French Toast (with blueberry syrup)

What better way to start a Saturday than making an extra-special breakfast? French toast is by far, the easiest, quickest and yummiest breakfast food you can cook-- in my opinion, at least. I have spent many years perfecting this recipe, and trust me--it's good!
* 6 slices of sturdy whole grain bread (sprouted grain bread works perfectly)
* 1 cup vanilla soy or almond milk (or you can add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mixture)
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (really yummy--gives it a rich flavor)
* 1 tablespoon flour
Start by heating a large pan over medium heat and spreading a little canola oil in the bottom. Wisk everything but the bread together in a shallow bowl. When the pan is hot, dip (don't soak) the slices of bread in the mixture on both sides and lay on the hot pan. Cook until golden on both sides. Please Note: the secret to really good French toast is not whether or not there is eggs is the batter, but whether or not you move the bread around while it is cooking. For heaven's sake, leave the bread alone until it is ready to flip!

To make the extra-special syrup to go with your extra-special breakfast (if you can't multi-task, I suggest doing this either before or after you make the toast) combine 1/3 cup thawed blueberries (or any other fruit beside bananas) and 1/3 cup pure maple syrup in a blender and blend until smooth. If you want, you can heat it gently before pouring over your French toast.

To finish all this off, I like to put some Earth Balance margarine and a little extra nutiritional yeast over the top along with the syrup.
