Ok people, I am back. I know it has been a while since I have blogged! Forgive me, I'm in grad school and work full time - I just haven't had time for cooking and blogging. But the semester is over and I am so excited to have my weekends back, including Sunday brunch time! My first free weekend I slept in and woke up craving something sweet and comforting. So I whipped together some cinnamon french toast. I remember when I was kid, my mother used to make me cinnamon toast, which is just toast with butter, cinnamon and sugar spread on top - so simple yet perfect! This recipe below hints at this comfort food from my childhood, but in a french toast form - and wheat/sugar/dairy free! I hope you enjoy it!
Ingredients (for 2 people)
- 6 slices of great gluten free bread (I love Canyon BakeHouse brand)
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup of almond/soy/rice milk
- 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
- 1 tsp of nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon of 100% maple syrup (plus more for later)
- Some Earth Balance or coconut oil or something to grease the pan.
Directions
- In a bowl, mix together eggs, milk, spices, and syrup.
- Soak 2 slices of bread in the egg batter, making sure both sides are coated.
- Grease pan and turn burner to medium-high heat and cook soaked bread slices in pan, about 2 or so minutes on each side.
- Repeat until all slices of bread are cooked.
- Top with fresh fruit and maple syrup and enjoy, preferably NOT while you study or write a term paper!
I used to make you cinnamon toast? I don't remember that!
