Paleo Banana Bread French Toast

in , , , , , , , , , ,

This morning, Daniel and I had a very serious discussion as to whether or not it’s okay to put ketchup on your french toast. I swiftly voted no and he swiftly voted yes. The disappointment that this conversation brought was immense because now I married a man who puts ketchup, THE BEST condiment in the world, on both french toast and macaroni & Cheese…the word disappointment can’t even begin to describe how I feel about this.

Thankfully, the disappointment didn’t last long as I turned back to making french toast…

This recipe came about because my two staple breakfasts just weren’t fancy enough for Sunday brunch, plus I figured, we’re quarantined right now so why not change things up!

I looked around my kitchen and noticed a half-eaten loaf of Paleo Banana Bread I had made the other day and figured, Banana French Toast was the best way to go.


Makes 2 servings (about 4 slices)

All you need is...

  • 1 Egg

  • 1/4th cup Almond milk

  • 1tsp cinnamon

  • 1/2tsp vanilla

  • coconut oil

Directions

Heat up a pan on low to medium heat

Mix together the milk, egg, cinnamon, and vanilla in a pie plate.

Place the banana bread in the mixture for about 20-30 seconds on each side.
Melt your coconut oil in the pan to coat the bottom and then add in the french toast. Making sure to cook each side until it's crispy but not burnt!
Top with your favorite goodies! I used agave, blueberries, cinnamon, and sunflower butter.
Enjoy!

FLUFFY OAT PANCAKES // GLUTEN FREE & DAIRY FREE

in , , , , , , ,

I don’t know about you but when it comes to pancakes, Daniel and I mean business. We even have a weeknight dubbed pancake Saturday, where I come home from work, we make pancakes and watch a movie. Our favorites being Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings!

Every week it seems that I try a new recipe for myself since Daniel makes his perfect gluten and dairy-filled pancakes. He guards the secret family recipe with his life so don’t ask…sigh*

Anyway, each week I make my pancakes and have always faltered between near perfection, and pancake scramble that might sometimes taste like baking soda…I decided it was time to change so I gathered myself together and went to work!

My criteria for the pancaked were that they would be accessible for everyone, gluten & dairy-free, and if you don’t have allergies can be made with normal ingredients. I wanted the pancakes to be on the hardier side as well to keep you full and satisfied while maintaining that fluffy texture!

For the flour, I chose oat because it’s cheap, easy, and easy to make! All you have to do is blend up your gluten-free or non-gluten free oats in any blender until a fine powder forms. If there are some larger pieces left that’s okay too! Just get it to the finest flour for the best results!

For the Dairy-free yogurt, I use an almond-based one. It is thicker than a lot of coconut yogurt, but feel free to either replace the dairy-free yogurt with regular yogurt, or even apple sauce. They will have a different flavor with the apple sauce of course and won't be as fluffy, but still very good!

Now all you have to do is combine all the ingredients and cook on a skillet at medium heat. This batch makes about 6 medium-sized pancakes. (I used a 1/4th cup measure).
