The way to my heart? Breakfast. Literally, just serve me breakfast and we can be best friends forever. Just make sure it’s carbs and sweetness; no savory please! One of the “homemade” breakfasts my mom would make my brother and I when I was younger was French Toast. She always felt like pancakes were so easy to burn, but French toast was a bit easier.

I remember pouring syrup on and having my mom cut them up into bitable pieces for me. But I also remember them tasting super “eggy” and having the worst full-feeling and stomachache afterwards. That’s why there shall be no eggs and obviously to no gluten now-a-days! Still, the syrup “soggy bread” classic will always be near and dear, don’t get me wrong!

Of course, knowing me, I finally needed to look up why French toast was called “French” toast. It stated back in the 5th century AD by the Romans and was called “Pan Dulcis”. But then it evolved over time and the modern version is supposedly credited to an innkeeper named Joseph French (read about it here). So, it’s not French at all, it’s Roman and just stale bread dipped in egg and milk, and then fried. I’ve taken it upon myself to make it “ultra” modern and allergy-free-inize it!

I also made it super easy (and healthy) for all you mommas to prepare for the kiddos! Since I’m still floundering on being a “child”, my recipe development can please both. This French toast you cut up before you even make it in the pan! Super easy and cooks up even quicker! For the allergy-free “egg” mixture, we use chickpea flour and a sprinkle of nooch for that classic taste. A hefty dose of cinnamon, pan-fry, and BAM….Breakfast is served! When it’s done, it’s all ready to serve at the table with a “pool” of syrup for dipping! This way, if you don’t want it “soggy”, dipping the individual pieces combats that rather well! Obviously, we all know dippable breakfasts are THE best! What kid doesn’t love finger food that’s dippable, heck, what “adult” doesn’t?

    Love this recipe! My oldest daughter was a vegetarian. Recently has gone gluten-free and vegan. This is perfect. I am going to make this for her. Perfect for after one of her long runs

    Oh I have fond memories of my dad making this for breakfast. I would actually ask for it as my special Birthday breakfast as it was my favourite thing ever =) As I can no longer tolerate dairy, eggs or gluten – this version suits me better. Sounds super yummy, more grown up, but still fun =)

    I’m so glad to find a plant-based alternative to French toast. This looks fabulous. Love the addition of nutritional yeast too. Thanks for sharing!

    I would have a hard time sharing this with the kids. I think I’d want it all to myself!! All that cinnamon! It looks so good, Rebecca!

    Oh I love your no-egg mixture!! I have never been a fan of french toast exactly because of that too-much-egg full tummy feeling afterwards, but this mixture sounds delicious and a lot lighter!! I will definitely be trying this out with the kids

    These look fantastic, french toast with no eggs! Very clever 🙂 I will be passing this on to my friend who’s little boy has an egg allergy. Perfect for little ones who love to dip!

    I love when you make foods like this into “bites” because that’s usually how I eat them anyway! I always tear and dip my pancakes and french toast 🙂

    I think you just found the way to my heart, too! I’m looooving these bites of deliciousness! And seriously digging my new-found use for chickpea flour! I have some in the pantry and didn’t know what to do with it….ALL the French toast bites for me, please!

      When in doubt, that chickpea flour always gets used for breakfasts! From French toast to vegan omelettes!

    This looks amazing, it really does. That pour gif is food porn right there! LOL!

    I actually prefer savoury French toast, so on the odd occasion that I do make it, I use Indian spices in the mix, and a bit of chopped fresh green chilli and red onion. It’s really, really good!

    Rebecca – that chickpea mix substituted for egg is genius – as are these gluten and egg free cinnamon french toast bites! BTW – I did not know that French toast was made by the Romans – seems like they were the creators of all sorts of fun recipes!
