Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, see note 1
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 8 slices gluten-free bread, see note 2
  • 2-4 tablespoons butter, for the pan

Instructions

  1. If you want to keep your French toast warm, preheat the oven to 200F.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.

  3. Pour the mixture into a large baking sheet. Place the bread slices into the pan and soak for about a minute on each side.

  4. Heat a nonstick griddle or cast iron pan over medium heat. Melt about a tablespoon of butter on the griddle. Brush the butter evenly over the griddle.
  5. Place bread, as many comfortably fit, and cook until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

  6. Serve immediately or place on a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven to keep warm. Repeat, buttering the pan each time, until all the bread is cooked. Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.

Recipe Notes

Note 1. You can sweeten the custard with brown sugar, granulated sugar, honey, or maple syrup.

Note 2. Use your favorite gluten-free bread. It's best if it's slightly dry. You can do this by placing it into a 250℉ oven for a few minutes.
