Skinnymixer’s French Toast is a delicious breakfast to make at home – without the cost of eating out at a fancy cafe!
Sometimes we just want something a little special for breakfast – even better if it’s breakfast in bed made by a loved one. This French Toast recipe is super simple to make, yet completely delicious. Drizzle with some Pistachio Spread or slather with some Whipped Maple Butter and you have something extra fancy at home in the comfort of your pyjamas!
This recipe can be made gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, vegetarian and low fodmap. We have also provided instructions on how to make in the Thermomix also.

- Thick cut bread of choice – this recipe is enough for 2 large, thick slices, 3-4 regular slices of bread or up to 6 smaller slices of bread.
- Eggs
- Milk of choice – dairy-free if needed. I used lactose-free
- Vanilla extract or vanilla paste
- Ground cinnamon
- Maple syrup or honey

What our recipe development team had to say!
“So good, almost stale sourdough brought back to life. Love this for Sunday morning treat, added some Whipped Maple Butter.” – Kylie B, Feb 2025
“Yummmmmmmmmm……… this has well and truly outdone the husband 
will give it a go with some sweet paprika for a savoury version.” – Jess G, Feb 2025
” Delicious 
Gluten free French toast. Mr 14 said the cinnamon was a bit to strong for him but everyone else loved it. 10/10 so quick & easy. I had enough egg mixture to do about 6 smaller slices of the gluten free loaf I cut up.” – Leia S. Feb, 2025
