Gluten-Free Cinnamon Raisin Sourdough French Toast (No Added Sugar!)
If you can actually see your toast under all the toppings… you’re doing it wrong, my friend.
This is not your average Sunday brunch recipe. We’re talking about thick, golden slices of cinnamon raisin sourdough French toast, pan-crisped to perfection, and smothered in a mountain of toppings that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
French toast has always been a breakfast favorite, but this version is next-level:
• Gluten-free
• Naturally sweetened (no added sugar)
• Loaded with real food toppings
• And finished with the crunch and chew of NUTSÒLA Vanilla Almond Superfood Mix
If you’re looking for a brunch-worthy recipe that won’t leave you crashing from sugar overload, this is it.
Why French Toast Deserves a Comeback (The Clean Way)
French toast sometimes gets a bad rap—probably because it’s usually soaked in syrup, topped with whipped cream, and basically treated like dessert. But when you use clean ingredients, skip the added sugar, and layer it with wholesome toppings like fresh fruit and NUTSÒLA… you get all the indulgence, none of the crash.
It’s all about balance. And toppings. Lots and lots of toppings.
Meet the Star: NUTSÒLA Vanilla Almond Superfood Mix
If you’ve never added NUTSÒLA to your French toast, now’s the time.
NUTSÒLA Vanilla Almond brings a sweet, cinnamon-vanilla crunch that makes every bite better. Made from real, whole ingredients—like dates, almonds, cashews, and sunflower seeds—it’s naturally sweet with zero added sugar.
Every spoonful adds:
• Crunchy texture to contrast the soft toast
• Warm vanilla and almond notes that pair perfectly with cinnamon
• A boost of fiber, healthy fats, and energy
Basically, it’s the topping that turns your breakfast into something you actually feel good about eating.
Gluten-Free Cinnamon Raisin Sourdough French Toast Recipe
Ingredients:
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, oat, etc.)
• A splash of vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 slices gluten-free cinnamon raisin sourdough bread (or your favorite clean option)
• Avocado oil or coconut oil for cooking
Instructions:
1. Make the batter.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, plant-based milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth and combined.
2. Dip the bread.
Coat each slice of cinnamon raisin sourdough in the mixture. Let it soak just enough to absorb flavor, but not get soggy.
3. Cook the French toast.
Heat a little avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the soaked bread and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
4. Layer on the toppings.
This is where the magic happens. Build your ultimate breakfast plate with fresh fruit, creamy drizzles, and lots of crunch.
French Toast Toppings You’ll Want Every Time
This is a choose-your-own-adventure kind of moment. But here’s the combo I swear by:
Toppings:
• Sliced banana – adds natural sweetness and creamy texture
• Fresh blueberries and raspberries – for a pop of color and antioxidants
• Nut butter drizzle – almond or cashew butter melts beautifully into the toast
• Extra cinnamon – sprinkle for warmth and a little visual drama
• A generous handful of NUTSÒLA Vanilla Almond Superfood Mix – the ultimate topping
Not only do these toppings elevate the flavor and texture of your French toast, but they also pack in nutrients like fiber, healthy fats, and natural sweetness—all without relying on added sugars or processed syrups.
