Gluten, Sugar & Dairy Free Cinnamon Crumble Baked French Toast
MMMMMMmmmmmmmmm, can you smell it?? Soft baked cinnamon covered french toast with a little crumbly topping!!!
The most divine smell to wake up overnight guests or your family for the start of the day! Perfect for a lazy weekend brunch or easily made the night before, baked in the morning and ready for the work or school day.
Actually it's even transportable and the hubby or you can take a piece to work and heat it up there!
Topped with some fresh berries, honey or even cream if you like!
Would you believe this is actually sugar free, gluten free and dairy free? Yes, yes it is!
Of course you don't have to use gluten free bread as I did. You can use whatever bread you like! Of course you can use all eggs and skip the egg whites (add 2 eggs to replace whites I used!)
Of course you don't have to use coconut milk. You can use whatever milk you like! And of course you don't have to use stevia in the egg mixture, change it to ¼ cup of honey instead.
Really so adaptable and will still be excellent anyway you make it!
Just and FYI: any adaptions you make will change all the nutrition info! I use nutrition data.com for entering ingredients and do the rest on weight watchers online for points.
I tested this recipe out on one of my daughter's friends who slept over. One who specifically doesn't ever eat anything like I make and was a little unsure. She tried one bite, topped with some maple syrup and ate the whole piece! Said she loved it and I made sure to tell her momma!
P.S. I never ever tell them them the details of a recipe until after they've tried it. I only shared it was baked cinnamon oatmeal. 🙂

It looks dry in the picture. Usually it’s got the consistency of custard. Very moist. This doesn’t look like either.

My packet of quik oats says it contains gluten.
Brenda
You need to find oats that state they are gluten free. Bob's Red Mill has a brand; http://www.iherb.com/p/29586?rcode=yaj035

When you list coconut milk in recipes, you mention a "can" which I've seen. Is it the same as what I use in the carton which is called coconut milk "beverage"? So Delicious brand for example, or they have it at Trader Joes too.
Anita Medeiros
I've recently discovered your website and am LOVING your recipes. This one is by far, my fave. Love, love, love the smell as it's baking and the leftovers taste just as good. Thank you!
Brenda
So happy you liked it, thanks for sharing!

I don't have gluten free bread, only Ezekial bread. Do you think it would be ok to substitute with an equal amount?
Brenda
Yes I believe that would work fine.
Sharon
What can I use to substitute for the eggs and oats?
Thanks,
Melissa
Is there something you can sub for the coconut milk? I know it's thicker than almond milk.
Brenda
You can use almond, I can't since my youngest has a tree nut allergy but I think it would be fine with it.
Kathy
Does it have to be quick cooking oats?
Brenda
I think rolled oats would work fine too.
Bonnie
Would you please list what size pan you use in your recipes?
I put this in an 11" X 7" pan and it was over full.....but still tasted VG! I did not use the cloves, though.
thanks.

I have never used Stevia, is there a brand you prefer? Any hints or special ways of cooking with it? I am excited I found your site.

You think I could use another fat source instead of coconut for the crumble? Maybe nuts or oil?
Brenda
Yes, you could use butter!
Laurie
