Not sure if you guys can tell but I LOVE breakfast foods, so when I find a yummy recipe I am always trying to convert it over to gluten free.  This french toast is a no brainer, it’s made with coconut milk, so its DAIRY FREE also!!

The only issue was finding a delicious, flaky, sweet golden brown brioche bread to use.  So instead of me reinventing the wheel I used a wonderful recipe for brioche bread that I found on Carol Kicinski’s site Simply Gluten Free.  I highly recommend her recipe for Gluten Free Brioche.

Enjoy and let me know your thoughts!

Gluten Free & Dairy Free Coconut French Toast

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Yields 4-5 servings

Ingredients:

• 5 lg. eggs
• 1 (14 oz.) can unsweetened coconut milk
• 1/4 c. brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice ( McCormick is gluten free)
• Kosher salt
• 2 tsp. canola oil
• 8 thick slices of your favorite Gluten-Free brioche or challah bread
• 3 tbsp. sweetened shredded coconut
• Mixed berries, for serving (whatever is in season- blueberries, raspberries or blackberries will do)
• Confectioners’ sugar, for serving ( be sure gluten free- Dominos and C&H brands state they are gluten free)
• Maple Syrup, for serving

DIRECTIONS:

1. Whisk eggs, coconut milk, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt together.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil on medium.
3. Soak 4 slices of your bread in the egg mixture, letting excess drip off; add to skillet.
4. Sprinkle each slice with sweetened shredded coconut; press to adhere. Cook 4 minutes or until bottom of bread is deep golden brown. Gently turn slices over; cook 2 minutes or until coconut flakes are deep golden brown.
5. Transfer to parchment-lined cookie sheet and keep warm in 300 degrees F oven. Repeat with 4 more slices bread, adding another 1 teaspoon oil if necessary.
6. Serve with mixed berries, confectioners’ sugar, and maple syrup, if desired.
