Banana Blueberry Gluten-Free French Toast: Your New Favourite Breakfast!
Ingredients
- 6 slices gluten-free bread
- 3 pcs eggs large
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1.5 tbsp coconut oil
- ¾ cup blueberries
- 1.5 pcs ripe bananas sliced
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Dip each slice of gluten-free bread into the mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly.
- Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Place the coated bread slices in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Serve the French toast immediately, topped with sliced bananas, blueberries and maple syrup (optional).
Notes
- Use stale bread for the French toast. Fresh bread will absorb too much of the egg mixture and become too soggy. Stale bread will hold its shape and absorb just the right amount of egg mixture.
- Mix the egg mixture well and use a shallow dish to dip the bread. This will ensure that the egg mixture coats the bread evenly and the toast cooks uniformly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the French toast. Cook one or two slices at a time to ensure that they cook evenly and become golden brown.
- Keep the cooked French toast warm in a preheated oven set to low heat (around 200°F) while you cook the remaining slices. This will ensure they stay warm and crispy until you're ready to serve them.
- Use fresh blueberries and bananas to top the French toast. You can also drizzle with maple syrup, honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
- If your French toast is coming out too soggy, you may be using too much liquid in the egg mixture. Try reducing the amount of milk or using thicker slices of bread to absorb more of the liquid.
- You can use any kind of non-dairy milk in this recipe, such as soy, oat, or coconut milk. However, unsweetened almond milk is a great option because it has a neutral flavour that won't overpower the taste of French toast.
- If you have leftover French toast, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.
