Servings: 4 serves
Ingredients
- 8 slices of sourdough or gluten free bread
- 2 large eggs
- 250 ml (1 cup) milk (full-fat or unsweetened dairy free - my favourite is gluten free oat milk but coconut (drinking) milk worked well for me, too)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (+ 1 teaspoon for serving - or use pumpkin spice mix)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (sugar and gluten free)
- 1 tablespoon xylitol
- rice syrup, to serve (optional, but tasty - just remember that while fructose free, it is a free sugar so try to keep it to 1-2 teaspoons per person max as a treat)
Instructions
-
In a large shallow bowl, mix the eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Dip the bread slices in the mix on both sides, allowing each to sit for a minute to soak up the milk mixture. Fry in coconut oil or butter over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, and sprinkle with xylitol and extra cinnamon or pumpkin spice mix before serving. If you want it extra sweet or decadent, drizzle with a little rice syrup to taste.
