Ingredients
- 6-8 lices gluten-free sandwich bread slightly stale works best
- 3 egg large
- ½ cup milk
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon butter dairy-free or regular
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, maple syrup, and salt until smooth. Make sure to whisk well to ensure the salt and cinnamon are well dissolved.
- Soak the Bread: Place slices of gluten-free bread in a single layer in a shallow dish. Do not overcrowd. Pour the batter over the bread, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Soak for 2–3 minutes per side.
- Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add butter and let it melt completely.
- Cook the French Toast: Place soaked bread onto the hot skillet in a single layer, leaving space between slices. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with a drizzle of pure maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.

Notes
- Storage: Let cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer. Reheat in a toaster or skillet for best texture.
- Tip: Slightly stale bread works best for soaking, as it absorbs the batter without falling apart. Ensure you mix your egg mixture well to get a creamy custard and avoid lumps. Allow each bread piece to sit in the mixture for a few minutes without oversoaking.
