Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup whole milk or almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 8 pieces gluten-free sandwich bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter or vegan butter

Instructions

  • Add the eggs, milk, salt, maple syrup, vanilla, and ground cinnamon to a shallow baking dish or pie plate. Whisk until combined.
  • Dip the bread slices, one at a time, for about 30 seconds on each side, making sure the bread soaks up the egg mixture.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Place 2-3 pieces of bread in the skillet, being sure not to crowd them too much. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden and no more raw batter remains.
  • Serve immediately with additional butter, maple syrup and fresh fruit.

Notes

  • I used Canyon Bakehouse Mountain White Gluten-Free Bread for this recipe. I like it because it’s bigger than some other varieties of gluten-free bread and comes in the freezer section of my grocery store so I can freeze it until ready to use. It’s soft and fluffy on the interior, but holds together when dipped in the egg mixture, perfect for French toast! 
  • If you have celiac disease or are on a gluten-free diet for other reasons, be sure to double check all of your ingredients to ensure that they are gluten-free. 
  • As a note if you are unfamiliar with celiac disease or gluten allergies, please do not make gluten-free French toast at the same time as regular french toast made with wheat-containing bread for someone who is gluten-free. This will cause cross contact and they can get sick. The gluten-free French toast should be prepared on its own with its own egg batter and using its own skillet. 
  • If you have time before making your French toast, let the bread sit out to get stale for at least 30 minutes. This will allow you to soak up more of the egg batter without the French toast getting soggy.
  • The nutritional information is an estimate and does not account for any topping that you put on your French toast as the calculation will vary.
