Grain Free Coconut Bread French Toast, GF french toast

Whether you are eating grain free or not, this Grain Free Coconut Bread French Toast is the perfect comfort food!

Originating in Europe, a 5th century Latin recipe calls it Aliter Dulcia (just another sweet dish). A 14th century German recipe calls it Arme Ritter. All over the world people make french toast (trust me on this Wikipedia has a listing a mile long).

In France and other French speaking countries it is called Pain Perdu, meaning lost bread. Apparently it was a way to use or “reclaim” stale bread.

Whatever it is called, it may be adapted to whatever bread you have on hand and you can make it grain free as well as dairy free.

Grain Free and Dairy Free French Toast

The recipe below is a grain free, dairy free adaptation of french toast. If you are grain free but not dairy free you may use cow milk or cream instead of the coconut milk or cream.

I used 1/2 of the can of coconut milk diluted with a little water. Any kind of milk is fine as long as it is free of additives.

This recipe is also SCD and GAPS legal as long as you use a milk product that is homemade or free of additives.

This was a HUGE hit so make sure you make enough for everyone.

Total Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 3 - 4 servings

Ingredients

1/2 loaf of coconut flour bread (video/recipe for coconut flour bread) (here is a newly revised version of coconut flour bread that we like better)
2 eggs scrambled in a shallow bowl (preferably pastured)
1/2 cup coconut milk in a shallow bowl how to make coconut milk) (where to buy coconut milk or coconut cream)
ghee or butter (video/recipe for homemade ghee)
raw honey or other sweetener (where to buy)
Cinnamon (where to buy organic spices)

Instructions

Start heating the pan to medium heat and melt the ghee, butter, pastured lard or coconut oil (coconut oil may give it too strong a coconut taste)
Slice the bread into 1/2″ slices (of course you may use whatever bread is appropriate for your circumstances)
Most grain-free breads have smaller slices than regular wheat bread so you may want to use more slices per person
Soak the bread in the milk for a few minutes (if the milk is really thick dilute it with a little water)
Break the eggs into a shallow bowl and mix in the cinnamon
Carefully transfer the bread to the bowl with the eggs and coat both sides taking care not to tear the bread
Using a spatula carefully transfer the coated bread to the heated pan and cook until both sides are browned
Plate and serve immediately
1/2 loaf makes approximately 7 -8 slices

Toppings

Raw honey
Butter or ghee
maple syrup or other sweeteners (where to buy)
Dairy-free yogurt (see my video/recipe for making coconut milk yogurt)
Additional cinnamon on top

Equipment

Large fry pan (where to buy)
2 shallow bowls
