Have you ever had the French Toast Sticks from Burger King? I looooooved them when I was a wee child. We were always pretty busy when I was a kid, my dad worked really long hours, and we had a lot of fast food breakfasts. My dad was always into eating right and staying active, but didn’t know exactly what that meant until more recently. He eats better now, and is more active than most people I know. I digress though, back to childhood, there were many a morning I chowed down on some French toast sticks, dipping them into the little container of maple syrup they came with. …
Guys, do you know what is f#$@*ing delicious? Crunchy french toast. Have you ever tried anything like this? My mom used to make us french toast when we were kids, she would make a custard like dip for the bread like you normally do, but then she would coat the bread in crushed up cereal! Oh. My. God. If you have never tried this, do it! My vegan version of crunchy french toast is much healthier, but just as amazing as I remembered!
The act of dipping the bread into the custard makes it luscious, moist and creamy inside. The act of coating in a crunchy cereal makes the outside, once cooked, crispy and caramelizes the outside from cooking the sugar in the cereal! All this together makes for a perfect flavor and texture contrast. Top with maple syrup or powdered sugar…and damn!
The custard is vegan, gluten free and refined sugar free. So if you want to make this completely gluten free, that would be super easy, just use gluten free bread and most corn cereals are gluten free as well! This will also contain very little sugar, and that will be your decision on what kind of cereal you want to get. This 9 ingredient, healthy(ish) breakfast also only takes about 10 minutes from start to finish!
All right guys, this is fool proof, fast and the best french toast of all time. You probably should make this this weekend. Brunch? Yes! Or dinner? Sure, whatever. I love me some brinner! I am quite certain breakfast food is my favorite and what I crave like 90% of the time. How about you? Add this to your list of the top breakfast foods of all time!
A few days ago, I stepped out of my car, and my glasses didn’t fog up. This may seem like a small thing, but for me it is huge. I find everything about summer terrible, and this is a huge annoyance to me. I have worn glasses since second grade, I can’t see anything without them, and having them fog up literally every time I transition from the indoors to the outdoors is super not cool. Generally, the harbinger of summer for me is that first day they fog up when I get out of the car, and I feel oppressed and outraged until the first day of the year that they no longer do. So, where am I going with this? A few days ago they did not fog up, which to me means FALL IS COMING!
After dropping my little lady off at school, I thought about a recipe I having been wanting to try out, but felt it was more of a fall breakfast item. Well, today was the day! I went to Trader Joe’s and got myself an amazing vegan loaf of bread and got to work. This is insanely easy, and I am pretty sure no one could mess it up even if you have never cooked before. The caramel is a little more technical, but just barely, and if you are afraid to try to make the caramel, you could always just top these beauties with maple syrup and call it a day. I like to try things that scare me though, so, I say give it a try!
I almost died when I took my first bite. Crunchy on the outside, super moist on the inside, and the friggin’ maple caramel, come on. I was really starving when I had the first one, so that may have led to the added euphoria, but I am not really sure, since the rest of my family reacted the same way. Also, not only are these babies vegan (duh!) but they are refined sugar free, which makes me feel a lot better about eating them! I hope you enjoy!
