Easy & Healthy French Toast (GF Option)

March 18, 2012 by · 2 Comments


My kids love French Toast! And I love this recipe because it’s so easy to make and you can freeze the leftovers for quick breakfasts on busy mornings. No thawing necessary, just pop the frozen French Toast in your toaster oven to reheat for a quick, healthy breakfast!

If you have a griddle and can cook more than one slice of French Toast at a time, using a large baking dish allows you to soak more bread at one time, perfect for quicker cooking!

By transferring soaked bread to a plate and adding more bread to the egg batter soak, you can keep it moving assembly-line style so you can get the job done faster and sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labor with your family!

Bread tip: Save the heels of your bread for making homemade breadcrumbs and salad or stuffing croutons. It’s so easy – just save all of the heels of your bread and place in a freezer-safe container and store in the freezer until ready to make breadcrumbs or croutons.

Easy & Healthy French Toast (GF Option)

Yield: 14 slices

Easy & Healthy French Toast (GF Option)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of plain almond milk
  • 2 tbsp pure organic maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 loaf (12-14 slices) of your favorite wholesome bread (sourdough, sprouted grain or GF)

Instructions

  1. Preheat griddle to medium heat. In a large baking dish, add the first four ingredients and whisk together until well blended. Then add the eggs and whisk again until completely incorporated (will start to get foamy).
  2. Add four to six slices of bread to the egg batter (depending on your dish size) and allow it to sit for at least 1-2 minutes to soak up egg batter. Turn bread over and allow it to sit for another 1-2 minutes.
  3. Transfer eggy-bread to a plate in a stack and allow it to sit for a minute while you add more slices of bread to the egg batter to begin soaking.
  4. Remove eggy-bread from plate and place on preheated, buttered griddle. Cook approximately three minutes on each side, or until bread is lightly browned. Continue to repeat process until done.
  5. Serve with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup! YUM!

Notes

If making extra for freezing, place slices on wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, place on baking sheet and put in your freezer. Once the slices are frozen solid, transfer to a freezer-safe container and store in freezer until ready to use. Then simply place frozen French Toast in your toaster oven to reheat.

    These look so yummy.

    I am a big fan of Sneaky Chef since I have picky eaters. One thing I learned from her is that you can add pureed carrots and sweet potatoes to french toast “batter” and the kids would never know. I personally think it tastes better (and sweeter) than regular french toast. So that would make this even more healthier lol!

    Love your site!
