Holiday Gingerbread French Toast (Gluten-Free)

We partnered with our friend Sadie Radinsky to create this dreamy holiday Gingerbread French Toast that uses many pantry ingredients you probably already have on hand. Definitely make sure you have the molasses for this recipe- it really brings that gingerbread flavor home!

This recipe is perfect for Christmas morning. Molasses is necessary for the gingerbread flavor. Make this french toast gluten-free with a gluten-free loaf from Bread SRSLY. You can slice our loaf to the size you want for your french toast, whether thin or thick. We recommend the thicker you slice, the longer you let soak in your toast mixture. This bread is the perfect gluten-free loaf for french toast. It doesn't fall apart under moisture and it it has the classic tangy flavor known to sourdoughs, creating a more flavorful french toast.

Make this breakfast recipe this holiday season. Its loved by kids too!

  3. Dunk each piece of bread and let it soak for about a minute, then transfer to a plate.
  4. Heat a couple tablespoons of butter in a large pan. When hot, add the bread and cook on each side until browned and crispy.
