Gluten Free French Toast

by Robyn McElwee in Gluten Free Recipes February 21, 2023

Ingredients:

• 1 large free range egg
• 2 tbsp butter – melted [or Myikos]
• 3/4 cup raw milk [or milk substitute]
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• dash of cinnamon – to taste
• dash of nutmeg – to taste
• 2 tbsp raw cane sugar [or raw honey, maple syrup, etc]
• 1/3 cup Gluten Free Flour [I prefer bobs red mill gluten free 1:1]
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 loaf gluten free bread of choice

***You can use this recipe with regular flour and bread if you are not gluten free. Or if you have people in the household who are gf and some who are not. For example, I double this recipe. I make a full loaf of gluten free French Toast first. Then use the left over gluten free liquid mixture for a little more than half a sliced sourdough loaf. In my example photos, the smaller sliced bread is the gluten free French Toast – made first. The larger bread is the sliced sourdough bread and was made after all the gluten free loaf was cooked.***

Instructions:

1. Preheat cast iron skillet on medium low.
2. Beat egg in large glass bowl.
3. Whisk in melted butter. Then slowly add in milk and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
4. Add in sugar, salt, flour, and spices. Whisk until smooth.
5. Add butter to skillet [and before each new French Toast batch – a batch being 2-3 slices].
6. Soak each side of the bread in the batter for a few seconds per side. Place 2 to 3 pieces of bread in the skillet.
7. Cook bread about a minute or two or until golden. Flip and continue for equal cooking.
8. Serve. This recipe is great to prep for the week. Label a freezer bag GF or NON GF. Allow French toast to completely cool before placing in freezer bags. To eat, dethaw a few slices in the fridge the night before then toss them in a toaster. If you are gf, please make sure you are using a dedicated gf toaster.

You can dress this fresh toast up however you like. My son loves his French Toast with homemade jelly. While my daughter prefers hers sprinkled with a little organic powdered sugar or syrup. Fresh fruit is a fantastic topping for this French Toast. See below for my homemade non pectin jam recipe.
