This Easy No Egg French Toast is one of my all time favorite breakfasts. Ok, I seriously love most breakfast food, but French Toast definitely is a stand out to me. When my kids got diagnosed with food allergies and celiac disease, I needed to find a way to make this dish in a way that they both would still love, since it was something they both ate. The answer is a 4 ingredient recipe that tastes just as amazing as the original (if not better)!

Ingredient Notes
- Gluten Free Bread- Our household of course uses gluten free bread but if you're not gluten free, you can use whatever bread you desire.
- Milk- If there are no dairy allergies or if you’re not vegan, you can use regular whole milk. For non-dairy, use a dairy-free milk of your choosing.
- Cinnamon- Wouldn't be French Toast without this key ingredient!
- Butter/ Vegan Baking Stick- You can use either to grease the pan with.

How to Make No Egg French Toast
Here are the step by step instructions to make this egg free French Toast recipe!
Step 1: Combine the Milk and Cinnamon
Measure out the milk. Whisk in the cinnamon until fully combined.
Step 2: Pour the Mixture Over Bread
Place 4 slices of bread in a baking dish. Pour the cinnamon milk over the bread. Let sit for one minute and flip the bread. Let sit another minute and remove.
Step 3: Heat the Griddle and Add the Bread
Set your burner to medium low heat and carefully butter your grill pan.
Place the 4 slices of bread onto the warmed buttered grill pan and let cook for a few minutes until the under side has turned a golden brown. You can peek with a spatula.
Step 4: Flip the French Toast
Once the under side is golden brown, flip the French Toast over and cook until those sides are golden brown as well.
Take off the pan and top with whatever you’d like! In this house we love melted chocolate, powdered sugar and maple syrup. Yes. All of that. It’s delicious. Haha.
Expert Baking Tips
- Only Let the Bread Sit 1 Minute on Each Side in the Milk- A lot of gluten free breads fall apart when submerged in milk for too long so only let it stay in the milk for 2 minutes tops.
- Use Extra Butter I’ve founding extra butter helps to get that beautiful French Toast color. Before flipping the bread over, top it with a tiny piece of butter.
