Don’t think I forgot about the wonderful squash we call pumpkin. I actually have not cooked with pumpkin awhile. I know, it’s sad. But I guess after my pumpkin craze during the summer and until Octoberish was just one of those “current obsession” phases. Don’t get me wrong though, I still adore the stuff and will still use it all year round without a doubt. As I was looking through my recipe achieve of to-be-blogged-about recipes, I came across some old pumpkin goodies. A common breakfast dish that many people love. One of those recipes that get passed down through the family and is made on a special Sunday morning. The smell beckoning you out from bed even in the dead of winter because you know once you get up and stumble down the stairs you will be rewarded with a warm toasty stack of French Toast!

I know, I know French Toast might not be something you think can be vegan and gluten-free, but let me tell you…it can…and it can be good! I think there are 3 types of people in life. Those who like Pancakes, those who like Waffles, and those who like French Toast. Now I know there is some overlap, but really, if you were given the choice between these three, which would you choose? I have to say I am a pancake women myself. Nothing makes a morning better then delicious, steamy, fluffy, soft, (chocolatey) pancakes. The night before I know I am going to make them for breakfast, I dream about them all night. But I first have to make them which sometimes I really don’t want to. But then once I get the ingredients out it never takes that long and the reward is so worth it…more than worth it.

But lets move on the French Toast. That is why we are here today right? Now if you are a French Toast kind of woman/man, you are going to be very happy with this recipe. Vegan, gluten-free, and full of peanutty pumpkin goodness 🙂

Mmm, yes, French toast. I actually like this vegan version so much better then the normal egg version. This is the first time I made french toast myself and the first time I had it since being gluten-free and egg-free. I have to tell you, this is so much better! It doesn’t have that gross eggy taste…unless you like that or something, haha! And you can’t even make the argument that it has less protein since I didn’t use egg. Well guess what? It has even more protein because I used tons of peanut flour! Yes, Win!

Too lazy to make this French toast? Try a Mini Microwave French Toast!

So tell me:

+ Pancakes, Waffles, or French Toast…and you can only choose one!

+ What was your favorite weekend breakfast as a child? My dad would always get us bagels on the weekend. I loved blueberry bagels or a sesame bagel with veggie cream cheese. But they always left me feeling so full, like lead in the stomach. Same thing with pancakes or french toast. But now I know why right! Haha!

    I know what you mean about the gross eggy taste, it was always ruining French toast for me back in the day. I love your version, especially with the bonus peanut sauce! You just reinvented French toast for me. 😀

    I love pumpkin all year long! I try to snag up all the discount cans of organic pumpkin every year after Thanksgiving. Thanks for giving me the perfect breakfast for tomorrow.

    You know, I think I might actually be a French Toast girl. Although, I almost never make it and I don’t know why. I’m sure my kids would love it. It’s something I always used to get in a restaurant though…especially when I was pregnant…and the sweeter, the better. 🙂 I have had French Toast on the brain lately because I was thinking of Mother’s Day brunch items and that would be a good one! Anyway, peanut and pumpkin sounds like a delightful match! I have never worked with peanut flour, but I guess I need to get some!

      O girl, I think someone needs to make you some French Toast breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day (hint hint to the fam!) Haha!
      French toast does get so forgotten, but it really is good!

    I can’t choose between the three.. I love them all way to much. 😮

    This looks so Ah-maz-ing! I love pumpkin and peanut flavor. Om nom nom.

    I didn’t think you could make french toast without eggs, so this is pretty awesome. I’ll have to try this out.

    Drizzle peanut butter and cinnamon on top. YUM.

      You can never love them too much 😉 Eggs are like the bane of my existence. I hate everything about them and the cruelty that comes with them. So I am determined to make everything that people normal eat with eggs…vegan!

    I love French toast; although, for some reason I rarely make it. I definitely need to get into doing that again. I love everything about this one and I love the fact that it’s single serve!
