Simple and Easy GF/DF Pumpkin Spice French Toast

Let’s talk breakfast food. What is better than a plate of French toast in the morning. Nothing! But the problem for me was that most restaurants and brunch spots

carried French toast that didn’t align with my health goals. So instead of just never eating French toast, I decided to create my own.

I think a lot of people hold this idea that the “healthy” version isn’t going to be as good as the “unhealthy” version. And that is definitely true with some recipes out

there, but my goal here is to give you guys recipes that taste just as good, and even better than the original. I am a big believer of listening to our bodies, as well as

our cravings. We shouldn’t have to compromise that because there is no equivalent recipe out there.

This was such a huge consideration when it came to creating this recipe for gluten and dairy free French toast. I not only wanted this to be delicious, but I also

wanted to make sure that a wide variety of people could try it out, especially those with food sensitivities.

Whenever I am feeling like some comfort food, this is the breakfast recipe I always choose. It never fails to satisfy my sweet tooth craving, while also fueling me for

my day. And I love that the toppings can be customizable based on what I have at hand. The fruits I love to top this with are blueberries, strawberries, and especially

bananas. Almond or peanut butter is also a great option to spread on the French toast, and you can’t forget the maple syrup.

Now let’s talk ingredients.

🍂Gluten Free Bread- This one is up to your guys. You can use whichever gluten free bread you prefer, and for those who don’t have any gluten sensitivity, feel free

to use your favorite healthy bread option (I will be linking my favorite gluten free and non-gluten free breads down below)

🍂Egg- A great source of protein in this recipe and acts as a great binder for your flavorful mixture that your bread will be dipped into. It also makes this recipe more

nutrient dense, which will leave you feeling fuller.

🍂Cinnamon and Pumpkin Pie Spice- In honor of fall, I had to change my regular recipe to a festive one. These two spices are my go-to’s during the fall because

they add such great flavors to this recipe. They give off that comforting rainy day in fall vibe, which I absolutely love.

🍂Unsweetened Almond Milk- For anyone who is dairy free like me, any type of plant based milk is a great item to have on hand because it can be used in so many

different recipes. You can use any plant-based milk in this recipe; my favorite is definitely almond milk. I also recommend using unsweetened because no extra

sweetness is needed, trust me.

🍂Vanilla Extract- Although only a dash is added into this recipe, it makes a huge difference. The vanilla flavor adds to the sweetness and complements the

cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice extremely well. But make sure not to go overboard with vanilla, because it can often overpower the other flavors.

🍂Avocado Oil-I love to use avocado oil when making recipes on the sweeter side because you cant taste it. This oil is filled with healthy fats that will power you

through your day. Avocado oil is one of my staples and also comes as avocado oil spray, which is great for greasing the pan in this recipe.

🍂Raw Maple Syrup- Now this is where your sweet tooth will be satisfied. Raw maple syrup has such a rich, sweet flavor that I believe is better than the regular

pancake syrup. I have enjoyed raw maple syrup because it tastes more natural and less artificial, which is definitely what turned me onto this. It’s a great way to

satisfy that sweet tooth, while also making a healthy choice.

🍂Toppings- This is where you guys can go crazy! My favorite toppings are bananas, blueberries, almond butter, and dairy free chocolate chips. Feel free to choose

whatever toppings you enjoys, but I do recommend to add some sort of fruit, followed by a healthy fat, whether it be nut butter, seeds, or any other option you

prefer.
