Gluten Free French Toast Recipe
One of the things I love about gluten free French toast is that you can make as little or as much as you want.
If you're feeding a crowd, I suggest you triple the recipe and cook this gluten free French toast on an electric griddle.
The other thing that I love about this gluten free French toast recipe is that you can use almost any type of bread to make it and id doesn't have to be stale.
Stale bread does work best, but it's not required.
We've used leftover Gluten Free Bread to make this French toast. We've also used this Paleo Pumpkin Bread to make gluten free French toast.
The French toast made with the pumpkin bread was an incredible and indulgent version of French toast.
Ingredients in Gluten Free French Toast
Butter - For cooking the French toast in a pan and for toppings.
Gluten Free Sandwich Bread - We love using Canyon Bakehouse, or my homemade gluten free bread, but other gluten free breads work well too.
Eggs - This is the main ingredient next to the bread. I don't have an egg free version yet.
Milk - We like to use vanilla almond milk but you can use regular milk or your dairy-free milk of choice.
Cinnamon - Adds flavor. Who doesn't love cinnamon?
Vanilla - Adds flavor and balances the other flavors. Make sure your vanilla extract is pure (not imitation) for best results.

How to Make Gluten Free French Toast
Making gluten free French toast is similar to making regular French toast, you just need to use the right gluten free bread.
- In a small shallow mixing bowl, or a pie plate, whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract together.
- Dip a piece of gluten free bread into the egg mixture and then flip it over, coating both sides.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the bread in the pan. Cook for approximately 3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Using a rubber spatula, flip the bread over and cook on the other side. Remove from the pan onto serving plates.
These numbered steps match the numbered photos above and are for illustration purposes. For the complete list of ingredients and instructions, please see the recipe below.
Using an electric skillet to make French Toast
If you want to cook all the gluten free French toast at once, or you are doubling or tripling this gluten free French toast recipe, you can use an electric skillet to cook more pieces at once.
Omit the butter, and add the coated bread directly onto the non-stick electric skillet, cooking over medium heat.
Use a rubber spatula or soft spatula to flip the French toast, so you don't scratch your electric skillet.
Best Breads to Make Gluten Free French Toast
We've used a variety of breads to make gluten free French toast. As I mentioned, Canyon Bakehouse is a favorite of ours.
We've also used my homemade bread, Udi's, and leftover quick breads.
Make French toast with my Gluten Free Banana Bread sometime - it's incredible.
If you have any leftover gluten free croissant's those make good French toast casseroles.
Can I make French Toast Dairy-Free?
Yes, you can make this gluten free French toast dairy-free. We love using almond milk when we make French toast, but you can use your favorite dairy-free milk.
I don't recommend using water, it's not the same.
Toppings for French Toast
We love to top our gf French toast with butter and pure maple syrup. Other toppings include: Sliced Bananas, sliced fruit, berries, whipped cream, honey and cinnamon.

I not only have been following a gluten free diet but have the following restrictions as well:
1) no dairy, use hemp or coconut milk
2) no yeast
3) & no egg whites in baking.
I usually substitute 1 TBS flax with 3 TBS water to substitute egg white per egg and cook that on stove several minutes.
I substitute sugar with Stevia or Truvia. It is hard to find these or anywhere else Receipes applying the limitations I have.
I do make gf all purpose flour mixtures and wing it with Receipes versions.

You can use 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in place of the eggs. Whisk it with the other ingredients.
Best,
