Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices gluten-free bread preferably hearty or grainy for texture
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon plus extra for sprinkling
  • 2 large eggs fresh and at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup almond milk or any milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional but adds warmth
  • 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil for frying
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey for drizzling

Equipment

  • Non-stick Skillet
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk or Fork
  • Spatula
  • Measuring spoons and cups

Method
 

  1. Preheat your skillet over medium heat and gather all your ingredients.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, vanilla, and a pinch of cinnamon until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Place the slices of gluten-free bread into the egg mixture, pressing down gently to soak both sides evenly; let them sit for about 30 seconds each.
  4. Add butter or coconut oil to the hot skillet, allowing it to melt and shimmer, filling the air with a toasty aroma.
  5. Carefully transfer the soaked bread slices into the skillet, placing them flat and ensuring they don’t overlap.
  6. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping gently with a spatula.
  7. Once cooked, transfer the toast to a plate and sprinkle lightly with extra cinnamon for added warmth and flavor.
  8. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey while still warm, allowing it to seep into the crispy surface and add sweetness.
  9. Serve immediately, perhaps with a dollop of yogurt or fresh fruit if desired, and enjoy the warm, fragrant crunch.
