gluten free vegan banana pecan baked french toast

This gluten free vegan banana pecan baked french toast is quite the decadent breakfast. Baked to perfection and so moist! You will be going back for seconds with this breakfast treat.

Finding good gluten free bread, like soft and similar to gluten-filled bread, can be a challenge. If you have to eat a gluten free diet, you know what I mean. There are some not so good ones out there {trust me, I’ve tried most of them} and then there are some FABULOUS ones. When you find them, you stock your freezer full! Good bread becomes a special treat.

Thanks to brands like Schar, good gluten free bread really does exist! I have been a huge fan of Schar for years. It was one of the first gluten free brands I discovered after going gluten free. I could find them at just about every grocery store and everything I tried that they made, I loved! I’m especially fond of their baguettes, graham crackers and artisan baker white bread, all of which are gluten, dairy and egg free.

Schar recently released their NEW Gluten Free Artisan Baker 10 Grains and Seeds Bread. It’s a soft, slightly sweet gluten free bread. It’s also packed with amazing grains and seeds. Pumpkin seeds, quinoa seeds, psyllium husks, flax seeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, millet, buckwheat, amaranth and quinoa. A hearty gluten free bread that is so flavorful!

I’ve partnered with Schar to create a delicious recipe, featuring their 10 Grains and Seeds Bread. For awhile now, I’ve been wanting to try out a gluten free vegan baked french toast. I knew this bread would be PERFECT. The bread cubes are soaked in a banana, flaxseed, almond milk, maple and cinnamon mixture. No eggs here! Then it’s all topped with a heavenly pecan topping to give it that crunch. The french toast is baked until golden brown.

Gluten free vegan banana pecan baked french toast. Served warm {of course} with a drizzle of pure maple syrup. A cozy fall breakfast treat that is oh so scrumptious!
