Dairy Free, Gluten Free Option, Refined Sugar Free Option
This granola crusted french toast recipe is soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside, perfectly sweet but in a healthier way and takes your favorite breakfast up a notch both in flavor and in nutrition!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of bread (I used Angelic Bakehouse raisin wheat)
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup cashew milk
- dash of salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup granola (I used this one)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250F.
- Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl (that the bread slices will fit in laying down), and set aside.
- In another bowl mix granola and cinnamon (better to use small pieces of granola rather than large chunks).
- Take each slice of bread and submerge in egg mix.
- Pat one side of the bread into granola mixture (can do both sides if you want but you might need more granola!)
- Once granola is adhered well to bread, place on skillet granola side up.
- Pan fry on stove top over medium/high heat for about 3-5 minutes on each slice to brown that side. Note: do NOT place granola side down on skillet – it will burn.
- Move bread slices to a greased cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Bake 15 minutes.
Notes
Update – The second time we made this we cooked at 350F instead and it got a nice little crisp to the toast. I think I preferred this better but if you like your traditional french toast (which is not usually crispy) then keep it at 250F!
