A French toast recipe that's just a bit more special! Gluten-Free Strawberry Stuffed French Toast that's vegan, top 8 allergy-free, and a breakfast loaded with strawberry topping and dairy-free strawberry cream cheese!
I am not kidding you. Creamy, sweet, strawberry overload! Who doesn't love some fresh spring/summer strawberries and who doesn't love some decadent French toast? I don't know, but I'm not a hater and I'm pretty sure you aren't either (if you are, we need to talk). If you still have your concerns about "soggy bread" creations, this will 100% ease that anxiety. You may even choose French toast for a weekend breakfast over pancakes!
So what makes this little gluten-free, vegan, allergy-free, and single-serve breakfast so special (besides all those check marks!)? Well, my friends, this plate of sweet soggy carbs is stuffed with a creamy, dairy-free, strawberry surprise! I love Daiya cream cheese and last summer when I got my hands on the strawberry cream cheese, I just knew it deserved a special recipe; not just slathered on my bagels.
Stuffed between two pieces of "French-Toasted" gluten-free bread! Perfect! Nothing too complicated either. Just 4 ingredients total and a hungry belly is all that's required! Since I workout in the mornings on an empty stomach, I am ravenous for breakfast afterwards. If I have a bad breakfast experience, it just throws off the rest of my day. I need a plate (or bowl) or smiles, not frowns, to start my day in the most positive of ways.
This is guaranteed to be a plate of smiles! Even though I have to make special grocery trips just for this cream cheese, it's worth it! To dig into a plate of sweet strawberry, carby, and cream-cheesey goodness...o, you'll be in love too! You don't even need syrup, but I'm always an advocate for adding more sweetness if so desired. And if you don't have some Daiya strawberry cream cheese, you could use your normal cream cheese and blend up some strawberries into it or you could even use plain (but I don't recommend that. You'd be missing out!)

I haven't had French toast in years! My mum used to keep stale bread and make it once or twice a month. Souvenirs, souvenirs! Your strawberry-stuffed French toast looks delish!

Stale bread is a magic secret 😉

I've seen the regular Daiya cream cheese at my local store. I'm going to have to check back to see if they have the strawberry!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
It is worth it!
Bianca
Ohhh this looks like the perfect summer brunch food!
Woah, I didn't even know there was strawberry cream cheese from Daiya. We don't have daiya here *insertsupersademojihere* but it sounds awesome!! I really hope we get sweet vegan cream cheese kinds here too soon.
One of my favorite ways to eat strawberries is to make a super simple strawberry chia jam by just warming up strawberries in a pot, mashing them, adding chia seeds and tadaaaaa. so easy and delicious on english muffins.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
YES!!! I love making chia jams in the summer! What berries were made for 😉
Kellie
I love French toast so I'll definitely be trying this with the cream cheese and strawberries.. yum!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thank you!
Rhian @ Rhian's Recipes
This looks so yummy - what a great idea to add strawberries to French Toast! Will have to try this soon 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Lol, I think it's the stuffed with cream cheese part that's the idea 😛
Evi @ greenevi
Oh my goodness, this french toast looks absolutely epic! Can't wait to give this recipe a try (they don't sell Daiya here, but there is a delicious chocolate cheese cream that might work here as well) 😛
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Like I said, normal cream cheese with some blended strawberry would do fine too 😉
Jasmin - VeeatCookBake
What a great idea to stuff French toast. Love the strawberry season. But soon it is already over 🙁 love everything with strawberries, jam, sauce, cake and Co. 🙂

French toast is totally my weakness, I really can't wait for Daiya to come to the UK properly! This sounds amaze
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
In the mean time just grab some plain vegan cream cheese and blend in some strawberry 😉
Lauren Cecora
Have you tried it without the Daiya stuff? like making your own Coconut Cream Cheese/Whip before? do you think it would hold up?
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
If you want to make your own cream cheese. I noted that you could use your own.
peter @Feed Your Soul Too

With loads of fresh Scottish strawberries in the supermarket at the moment I wouldn't struggle to make the strawberry puree part, and the rest is basic store cupboard ingredients. Yum!

You must! It will be a new favorite!
