Gluten Free/Dairy Free French Toast for the Picky Toddler

When my son was diagnosed with a gluten & dairy sensitivity, my first thought was "oh sh*t, I'm going to have to get creative with cooking"... & that's when this recipe came in handy! My friend told me she was making French toast for a family brunch she was attending and I decided to also make French toast that day...but gluten & dairy free so my son could enjoy some too!

A simple Gluten Free/Dairy free French Toast recipe:

Ingredients:

- 4 slices of gluten free bread (I usually find it in the refrigerated section of my local grocery store)

- 3 large eggs

- 1/2 cup milk (I use Ripple milk, it is dairy free & plant based)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- Butter for cooking (I use Country Crock plant butter) 

- Maple syrup and toppings of your choice (e.g., fresh berries, powdered sugar)

Instructions:

1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

2. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a pat of butter to coat the surface.

3. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well-coated.

4. Place the coated bread slices on the heated skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

5. Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining slices.

6. Serve your French toast warm with maple syrup and your favorite toppings.
