This Gluten Free Vegan French Toast with Strawberry Sauce feeds the tummies of 4 people!

This Gluten Free Vegan French Toast with Strawberry Sauce recipe is a delightful and delicious breakfast treat! Especially for a vegan and especially for someone with celiac disease or a gluten allergy…life can be hard. Let’s make it easier with yummy french toast! The prep time for this meal is 15 min. and the cook time is 35 minutes.

Video Overview

Ingredients for the Gluten Free Vegan French Toast:  

• 1 vanilla bean
• 1 cup of plain or vanilla vegan milk
• ½ cup of canned coconut milk
• ½ cup of gluten free chickpea flour
• 2 tbsp. of maple syrup
• 1½  tbsp. of arrowroot powder
• 1 tsp. of vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp. of salt
• Vegan cooking oil
• 8 vegan, gluten free bread slices (try to find loafs with thicker bread)
• Vegan whipped cream

Ingredients for the Strawberry Sauce:  

• 4 cups chopped strawberries
• 1 tbsp. of cornstarch
• 1-2  tbsp. of agave syrup
• 1  tbsp. of lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. of water

Instructions for the Gluten Free Vegan French Toast:  

Ready for some delicious smelling aroma? Using a paring knife, make a slit down the side of your vanilla bean (lengthwise). Avoid cutting it in half, we just want to open it. Using your knife, scrape out the little seeds and put them in a shallow baking dish. Next, add your vegan milk, coconut milk, gluten free flour, maple syrup, arrow-root, pure vanilla extract, and your salt. Mix together until just combined.

Preheat your oven to the lowest setting that you can. Get out a baking sheet, put a cooling rack on top of it and set aside.

Heat a large frying pan, over medium heat for 2 minutes. Use cooking oil to cover the pan’s surface generously. Start with 1-2 pieces of your gluten free bread (or however many will fit in your large frying pan, since we’re using gluten free bread, I’m guessing you can fit about 4 pieces, lol.). Pick up each slice of bread and dip it into your vegan milk mixture and let each soak for about 10-15 seconds, making sure both sides are saturated, if needed flip and soak each side.

Put your soaked slices of bread in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until both sides are golden and crispy. As each set of slices are ready, place them on the cooling rack on the baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm while you finish with the rest of your vegan french toast. Make sure to re-oil the pan before every set of vegan french toast that you cook.

Instructions for the Sweet Strawberry Sauce:  

Mix together all of the strawberry sauce ingredients in a small pot and then bring to a boil. Then, turn down the heat to simmer, stir often for 3-5 minutes, until it has thickened. Remove the sauce from the heat and cover.

Slice your vegan french toast in half diagonal pieces. Lastly, place 4 halves of bread on a plate and then add a scoop of strawberry sauce and viola, vegan french toast!

*Add a dollop of vegan whipped cream if you’d like!

Enjoy!

1/2 Avocado, Chopped

Preheat oven to 425.

Take the grated zucchini and squeeze the moisture (water) out of it with your hands.
Put the zucchini into a paper towel and give it another squeeze to make sure the water is really squeezed out.
In a small bowl, prepare the flax egg by mixing 1 Tbsp. Ground Flax Meal + 3 Tbsp. Water. Stir the mixture and allow to sit for approximately 2 minutes, or until a gel is f
Place drained, grated zucchini in a large bowl. Add coconut oil, flax egg, almond meal, garlic powder, oregano, parsley and basil.
Use your hands to knead the crust ingredients into a dough.
Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to press and flatten the dough into about a 1/4″ thick oval or rectangular shape.
Set the crust into the oven on the bottom rack for about 30 minutes.

My Yummy Spinach Smoothie Recipe!

2 handfuls (maybe 3, I love this stuff!)

Almond Milk (a must!)

Strawberries

Banana

Pears

That’s it! I throw all of the above ingredients in my Bullet mixer and voila, I have the best snack ever! And I get a lot of greens in! You can mix and match fruit and veggies to find your favorite smoothie mix. My favorite part is mixing the pears and spinach together, it is delicious to say the least!

Now if the delicious taste and the convenience of a 3 minute snack doesn’t convince you, let’s go over the nutritional benefits!

A Glam list of nutritional benefits from spinach:

Protein, yes the most of the calories in spinach come from protein, yes protein!

Spinach is a better source of potassium, better than a banana!

Iron baby, lots of iron!

Lots of calcium!

Lot’s of metabolism-boosting magnesium!

And that’s just a few of the amazing benefits!

Although avocados are available at grocery stores pretty much year round now, their true season is from April to September with a very large amount of the country’s source being San Diego, in fact over 85% of the entire country’s avocados are hand grown in California! So as a true Californian, one should have a large repertoire of recipes at their disposal, especially for hosting your summer parties!

This particular avocado recipe is great as an appetizer to a vegan meal, in my opinion because avocados are so filling and vegan meals aren’t always so satisfying for some, so this creates a nice balance. But this alluring fruit is so aesthetically fabulous that it will be the center of attention at any gathering.

Video Overview

I love cooking with avocados because of their versatile taste making eating healthy so enjoyable. Topped with juicy veggies like cherry tomatoes and cucumbers mixed with the tanginess tart of lemons create a mix of sensations for the senses.

Organic Ingredients for the Grilled Avocado Appetizer Recipe:

DIRECTIONS:

Turn on your grill and preheat on medium.

In medium saucepan boil water. Add quinoa and cook for ten minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water in a fine colander. Let it sit and dry.

In a small glass bowl, mix lemon juice, vinegar, smashed garlic and salt together and let it sit for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the garlic and add in olive oil and whisk to make oil.

Brush oil onto avocados and put avocados on the preheated grill, open side down cook until charred and take off grill.

Combine everything (except the avocado) in a medium bowl and toss to make avocado filling. Add salt and pepper to preference. Place avocado filling in halved avocado and arrange nicely and serve!

Enjoy!

Makes 6 servings.

Takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to prepare/cook.
