Treat yourself with this delicious dairy-free French toast for one recipe. There’s no need to worry about leftovers or making enough for everyone else. This easy recipe is just for you. It’s a wonderful breakfast that’s also rather nutritious, and quick to whip up, even on busy mornings. The recipe was originally created by Amy B., who wrote for us many years ago. Today, we’re giving it an update!
Dairy-Free French Toast for One, made Gluten-Free or Wheat-Based
Amy B. taste-tested many dairy-free and gluten-free products for Go Dairy Free. But one of her favorites was Pamela’s Gluten-Free Bread Mix. She uses it to bake the bread for this dairy-free French Toast for one recipe. But you can use a store bought bread in a pinch. Brands like Canyon Bakehouse and Little Northern Bakehouse are our favorites for gluten-free, dairy-free bread. Or for truly homemade, bake up this Gluten-Free Brown Honey Bread Recipe or Gluten-Free Multigrain Bread.
If you eat wheat, I personally love hearty sprouted breads, like Silver Hills Bakery or Food for Life. Or I use homemade when I have it on hand. There’s nothing like thick slices of this Homemade Wheat Bread for French toast. But you can use your favorite bread – most will be delicious.
