Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Loaf of Gluten-Free Sourdough Bread (Cinnamon Raisin or Plain)
- 1/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar Sweetener (or preferred brown sugar)
- 1/4 Cup Granulated Sweetener (or preferred granulated sugar)
- 2 Flax Eggs (2 TB Milled Flax Seed + 6 TB Water)
- 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Light Canned Coconut Milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 1 TB Nutritional Yeast
- 1 TB Chickpea Flour
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
- 1 Tsp Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 to 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Raisins (optional)
Streusel Topping:
- 1/3 Cup Light Brown Sugar Sweetener (or preferred brown sugar)
- 3 TB Gluten-Free Flour
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
- 2 TB Vegan Butter (cold, cubed)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the dairy-free milk, chickpea flour (or starch), nutritional yeast, sweeteners, cinnamon, and vanilla. Mix well to combine so there are no lumps.
- Cube your gluten-free sourdough bread loaf into one-inch pieces. You can even rip the pieces with your hands for a more rustic irregular casserole.
- Add the gluten-free bread pieces into the thick eggless custard along with the raisins or other add-ins you choose to use.
- Mix the bread so all the pieces are fully coated in the custard and allow it to absorb the liquid for at least 2-4 hours, overnight is best. (You can bake it right away, but this is not recommended)
- Prep the streusel crumb topping by adding the sweetener, flour, cinnamon, and cold butter to a small bowl and use a fork to mash together the crumb until clumpy. Place it in the fridge until you are ready to assemble the casserole.
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F and lightly grease an 8x8 casserole dish with butter.
- Dump the soaking bread mixture evenly into the greased casserole dish. Use your fingers to sprinkle on the additional streusel crumb to the top of the casserole.
- Bake the French toast casserole in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until the top is crisp and golden brown.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes before sprinkling the top with powdered sugar if desired, and serving.
Notes
- The streusel crumb topping is optional and you can leave it out if desired.
- Store leftovers covered in the fridge for about 5 days. You can reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes or heat individual servings in the microwave for a minute or two.
- Freeze leftovers by wrapping individual servings in plastic wrap and foil or by tightly covering the entire casserole with plastic wrap and foil for up to 6 months. Allow the frozen casserole to thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes or heat the individual servings in the microwave for a minute or two.
