Paleo French Toast

OH MY GOODNESS! This is just so delicious! I actually was googling for recipes that I could prepare for the entire week and I was just drawn in by the mere thought that paleo french toast exists. After gawking at this recipe for a good 10 minutes I realize I actually know the lovely lady that the blog belongs too. Such a small blogasphere. 

I have actually whipped this up twice in less than 6 months. Yes twice, if it's only one person devouring it then it will last a week or even longer if you are sharing I have no way of knowing since I literally only gave once piece to my boyfriend, bless his heart. 

The first time was a dinner party and we all decided it would be a good idea to have breakfast for dessert. It was amazing! However I did not do the last steps which includes dipping the vanilla pound cake in egg and grilling it. So it was served a la mode, still had the french toast flavor though. The second time around I made it for breakfast & followed SuperMauras directions to the T! 

Vanilla Pound Cake French Toast

From Urban Poser: Coconut Flour Pound Cake

• 1/2 cup plus 2 tsp coconut flour, sifted
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 5 whole eggs, 2 of them separated
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, softened or liquid
• 1/2 cup raw honey
• 1 Tbsp Vanilla extract, the good kind
• 2 tsp lemon juice

For French Toast

• 3  (1/2 inch thick) slices of cooled pound cake
• 1 egg whisked
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• pinch cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp canned coconut milk
• Raw honey for topping (it barely needs it)
• Butter or coconut oil for pan

Instructions:
First Make the Pound Cake

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Sift the dry ingredients together and set aside
• Separate the eggs, setting the whites aside and putting the 2 yolks into a medium size mixing bowl. Crack open the rest of the eggs and add them to bowl with yolks
• In a separate larger mixing bowl, mix (using hand mixer or electric) beat the coconut oil, honey, vanilla, and lemon juice until well combined
• On low/medium speed, mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients (coconut oil mixture) until well combined
• Add the eggs (not including the egg whites) one by one into the batter allowing each egg to be incorporated well before adding the next
• In a small bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form and then fold into the batter
• Pour batter into a greased bread/meatloaf pan (0r you can line with parchment paper) and spread out until even throughout
• Bake for 30-45 min or until toothpick comes out clean. Mine baked in 35 min.
• Cool completely. I put it in fridge.
• Once completely cooled, heat your pan over medium heat and melt butter in pan.
• Whisk your egg, vanilla, and coconut milk together in a bowl.
• Cut out 1/2 inch thick slices of bread. Since gluten free bread doesn't rise as much, it’s more like french toast sticks.
• Dip each piece in egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.
• Cook about 3 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned and egg is completely cooked.
• Serve with raw honey and sprinkled cinnamon!
• Devour!

Since I am altering the way I eat mentally and emotionally it is so rewarding knowing that once in a blue moon I can has me some french toast! Mhmmmmmmmmmmm....

ENJOY!
