Ingredients measured out to make the gluten free French toast.

How to Make Gluten Free French Toast

  1. To a shallow and wide dish (large enough to fit a slice of bread), add the milk, egg, maple syrup and ground cinnamon
  2. Whisk until combined
  3. Heat a pan over medium heat
  4. Spray with nonstick or add butter to melt and cover the pan
  5. Place a slice of bread in the egg mixture, gently pressing to soak both sides (Note: don’t let it soak too long as it can break apart)
  6. Transfer the slice in the heated pan (I can do 2 slices at a time but it depends on the pan size you are using)
  7. Flip once crisp to your liking, about 1-2 minutes on each side
  8. Repeat steps 5-7 until all slices have been made (If needed, whisk more cinnamon into the egg mixture before soaking each slice of bread)
  9. Serve and top with butter and a maple syrup drizzle
  10. Enjoy!
