Easy Gluten-Free French Toast (Dairy-Free)

How to Make the Best French Toast

You’ll want a 10-inch or 12-inch skillet or a griddle to fry these in. So, have one of those out and ready to go.

I’ve found that mixing the batter in a mixing bowl that is wide at the base is the easiest to work with when it comes to dipping the bread in.

Melt the dairy-free buttery spread and add that to the mixing bowl with almond milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and eggs. Whisk it all together until it is combined.

Heat the skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of buttery spread to melt.

Dip just a few pieces of bread slices at a time into the batter, making sure each side gets coated with the batter. Then place in skillet and heat for 2-3 minutes on both sides.

Place the cooked French toast on a wire rack in a baking pan in a warm oven (170°) in single layers until they are all cooked.

Put another tablespoon of buttery spread in the skillet before adding the next batch of bread. Continue frying as directed. Serve with maple syrup or powdered sugar.

How to Store French Toast

Store any leftover French Toast in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

How to Freeze French Toast

Homemade French toast freezes really well. Allow them to cool completely before freezing. There are a couple of ways that I would recommend freezing them. First, place them in a freezer bag with a layer of parchment paper or wax paper between each layer. The second way is to place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and place them in the freezer for a few hours, and then, once frozen, put them in a freezer bag to store.
