Gluten Free French toast w/ Eggs or Vegan option!

I have been making French toast for Years. REALLY good French toast at that and for some reason I never wrote down the recipe. It was one of those things I just threw together without measurements and it turned out perfect every time! It was long overdue that I got it on paper and shared here in the club.

I wanted to challenge myself and create an indulgent yet SIMPLE French toast recipe that could work for both egg eaters and the vegans! With a bit of trial and error I was able to nail down ONE recipe that could go in either direction. The best part?? Both versions taste pretty much exactly the same. Its wild!!

When it comes to vegan recipes I prefer keep the ingredients simple. Im able to work my way around needing egg replacers most of the time. That was the case in this recipe- all you need is a few tbsp of gluten free King Arthur measure for measure flour! :)

All of these photos are taken of the EGG FREE/ Vegan version! Looks legit right?? You wont even be able to tell the eggs are missing! Its perfect!

You can honestly use just about any kind of bread! French toast classically is Made with fluffy Brioche! I DO have delicious brioche right here in the club that would be absolutely wonderful in this recipe. But, if you want to keep it really simple and just use a store bought bread (gluten free or not) go for it. French toast in my opinion tastes great with bread point blank. :)

You could even use a keto bread with a sugar free sweetener in the French toast batter! The recipe is highly adaptable.

The key to it turning out perfect every single time- is not rushing the cooking process. Especially if you use eggs. The ingredients can burn quickly if the heat it too high. I like to keep my heat right around 2-3 (out of 10) and give each side 1-2 minuets. If it browns quicker than that turn down your heat a little!

With the vegan /egg free version you just need to cook long enough that the batter soaks in/ cooks so the bread isn’t soggy!

I wanted to create an indulgent yet SIMPLE French toast recipe that could work for both egg eaters and the vegans!

If you really want to take this recipe to another level- try it with my gluten free brioche loaf!

IngredientsUSMetric

• 1/2 cup Cream (regular or vegan) * See note below
• 1/2 cup Milk (regular or vegan/ dairy free)
• 1Tsp Vanilla Extract
• 2 Large Eggs OR 3 Tbsp King Arthur Measure Gluten free flour.
• 1/4 Tsp Nutmeg
• 1 Tsp Cinnamon
• 1/4 Tsp Salt
• 3 Tbsp Organic Cane Sugar (Any variety of granulated sugar including keto granulated sugars)
• 6 Pieces of Bread. Soft & fluffy is best but just about any variety will do. Regular bread or gluten free bread can be used.
• 1 Tbsp Butter (regular or nondairy) per piece of French toast for cooking.

Instructions

1. To a medium sized bowl whisk up all of the ingredients together. Be sure to select the egg OR flour option based on your dietary needs.
2. Place a seasoned or nonstick skillet on the stove and warm up with medium low heat. Dip the bread in the French toast batter on both sides. Place 1 tbsp of butter where you intend to place each piece of toast. Place the toast on top of the butter.
3. Cook about 1 1/2 -2 minutes per side. Watch the heat carefully- if its too hot the French toast can burn! Slow & low is that way to go!
4. Serve with whatever toppings you like! Store leftover in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

Notes

My current favorite brand of dairy free heavy cream is silk! Its becoming increasingly available and works lovely in this recipe. They also sell a dairy free half and half which could be used for the full quantity of milk & cream! (1cup total) . Another option to replace the cream portion is to use full fat creamy coconut milk from a can!

As for the milk you can use ANY dairy free milk OR 2%,whole milk or low fat!
