Basic French Toast {Gluten Free or Not!}

The members of The Beehive needed an alternative to our scrambled eggs, toast and fruit breakfast.  I was tired of making it and The Bear and The Bird were tired of eating it.  The trouble is they LOVE toast and I needed to add some protein to keep them full longer. You see where I'm going with this?!! French Toast. So easy.  So good.

Basic French Toast

Ingredients

4 slices of bread*
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice (or just cinnamon)
banana or other fresh fruit to top
enough honey to drizzle

Directions


Melt butter in a large frying pan on medium heat. Whisk eggs in a medium-sized bowl. Dip bread in the eggs and flip to coat both sides. Let the bread soak in the eggs for a few seconds so that the bread is wet all the way through. Put bread in the frying pan. Sprinkle pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon) on one side then flip over and sprinkle on the other side. Cook for about 2 minutes then flip again.  Cook until all the egg on the bread is cooked.

Pile your french toast pieces on a plate. Melt some more butter on bread, slice banana on the top, and drizzle with honey.

Dig in.  No, seriously, dig in because they won't last long!!

*You will notice that I use both Gluten Free bread for me and regular bread for the kids.  As a result, I have to dip and cook the Gluten Free bread first as to not cross contaminate.

Super Moist Pumpkin Bread {Gluten-Free}

I found all of these ingredients in my cupboard already! No joke.  That is my favorite kind of baking.

It turned out delicious and moist!

Super Moist Pumpkin Bread {Gluten-Free}
2 Cups Gluten-Free Baking Flour (I used Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose Baking Flour.  Not my favorite blend of flours but I had it on-hand!)
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Baking Soda
3+ Tablespoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
1- 16 oz. Can Plain Pumpkin
1 Cube Softened Butter
2 Eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a bread pan with butter (I like to use a smaller casserole dish instead if the deep bread pan because the cooking time is less). Mix dry ingredients in one bowl. Add wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring.  Mix just until all ingredients are combined.

Pour into buttered pan.  Cook for 30-35 minutes or until a fork stuck into the middle comes out clean!

Enjoy, folks and happy Fall!
