When grilling season rolls around that means EVERYTHING must be grilled! We can’t waste even one mealtime not grilling! Grilled French Toast is the perfect way to utilize that grill for the most important meal of the day…breakfast! You can make French toast many ways; the microwave, air fryer, waffle iron, good ‘ole skillet, so why not throw those pieces of gluten-free bread right on the grill grates?

The best grilled breakfast

Gluten-free grilled French toast may just be the best option for a grilled breakfast. Not only is it gluten-free of course, but it’s vegan and allergy-free, meaning no eggs or dairy needed! A perfect meal for the whole family and a prime idea for those summer and fall season camping trips! Camping can be difficult with food allergies and celiac disease, but when you have a loaf of gluten-free bread and a grill…at least breakfast will be a no-brainer! If you don’t have a camping excursion planned, a bright sunny summer weekend out on the deck with the grill seems like the perfect location substitute!

Ingredients for grilled gluten-free French toast

You only need 6 ingredients, but most importantly is some good allergy-free bread! Of course, depending on your dietary needs, you can use any type of bread your heart desires, but the key here is to either lightly toast it or use stale bread! That’s always the ideal way to prep your bread for “French toasting” and helps keep it from being a soggy mess!

• Gluten-Free Bread
• Canned Coconut Milk
• Chickpea Flour
• Nutritional Yeast
• Cinnamon
• Vanilla Extract
• Sweetener (optional)

How to make grilled French toast

How do you actually make French toast on the grill? It’s so quick and easy you’ll be kicking yourself for not trying it sooner! Really, there are just 3 simple steps.

1. Mix together your vegan “egg” slurry.
2. Dip your toasted or stale gluten-free bread in the mixture.
3. Grill the dipped slices for 2-3 minutes on each side.

Okay…there is a fourth step and probably the most important…drench it in maple syrup and EAT! (Or is that 5 steps?)

Outdoor or indoor grilling options

I know some of you already have tears in your eyes because you don’t have an outdoor grill to use. Have no fear! You have options! You can grill up this French toast right on your typical gas or charcoal grill, but if you want grilled French toast in the winter or you don’t have an outdoor grill (apartment living, anyone?) you can use a griddle or grill pan right on the stove! In reality, any type of “grill” you have will do. It’s all about getting those beautiful grill marks on the bread anyway!

How to serve grilled French toast

Dress-up your French toast with the typical maple syrup, obligatory cinnamon sprinkle, and some sugar-free powdered sugar never hurt either! Make it the ultimate summer breakfast extravaganza by pairing it with some skillet potatoes or hash browns! If you want to make it a dessert, top these slices of piping hot toast with some dairy-free ice cream or homemade fluff!
