    Little Northern Bakehouse Gluten-Free, Organic, Allergy-Friendly Bread

    I have been loving Little Northern Bakehouse breads and used it as the base for this baked French Toast recipe.They recently added three new certified organic gluten-free breads to their lineup and prove that gluten-free, plant-based, and organic can still be tasty AND nutritious!

    Bringing gluten-free bread to a whole new level, the three new varieties โ€“ Organic Ancient Grain, Organic Oatmeal and Organic Original โ€“ are made with organic whole grains and seeds.

    Little Northern Bakehouse products are certified gluten-free, allergy-friendly (peanut and nut free), and non-GMO, with many also 100% plant-based and vegan. These breads are made to be enjoyed by everyone, including those living with celiac disease, gluten-intolerance, and food allergies.

    Unlike traditional and gluten-free breads currently on the market, Little Northern Bakehouse breads are certified as Glyphosate Residue Free and display the Bio-Checked Non Glyphosate Certified seal. With this, you can feel confident that Little Northern Bakehouse products use third-party testing to confirm the absence of this chemical which The World Health Organization classi๏ฌes as a โ€œprobable carcinogen,โ€ or cancer-causing substance.

    French Toast Muffins Recipe

    Get all the flavors you love about French Toast in a quick and easy muffin! With 4 kids, it's hard to please everyone, but this recipe is one that our entire family loved! These muffins are naturally sweetened and they're perfect for meal prep too!

    Easy breakfasts are a lifesaver around here. I'm always looking for ways to make our busy mornings healthier. Simple, ready-to-go recipes like this are perfect to add to your meal rotation knowing that your family will have a healthy breakfast to start their day.

    What Ingredients Do I Need to Make This Gluten-Free French Toast Muffin Recipe?

    You only need a few simple ingredients to make this delicious breakfast, and your house will be smelling like blueberry pie! Here's what you'll need:

    • One Loaf Little Northern Bakehouse Gluten-Free & Plant-Based Bread.
    • Unsweetened Plant-Based Milk. I used Ripple brand because it's packed with protein!
    • Ground Flax Seeds
    • Pure Maple Syrup
    • Cinnamon
    • Pure Vanilla Extract
    • Salt
    • Fresh Blueberries
    • Lemon Zest

    You'll need a muffin tin to make this recipe, and while I absolutely love our silicone muffin pans for baking, stick to the metal ones for this recipe. It will help the muffins get a crispy outside while staying soft and chewy on the inside.

    How to Make these Blueberry Lemon French Toast Muffins

    Start by whisking together the milk, flaxseeds, maple syrup, cinnnamon, salt and vanilla extract. Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes while the flax "eggs" start to thicken the milk.

    Meanwhile, slice the bread into cubes and place in a large bowl. Preheat the oven and grease your muffin tin so it's ready to go.

    Once the milk mixture is thickened, pour it over the bread cubes and toss until all of the bread is coated. 

    Start filling your muffin tin with some breads cubes, then add blueberries and repeat with the bread mixture and more blueberries. 

    Don't be afraid to let the bread cubes extend above the pan- pack them high! Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, then bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown.

    Serving & Storage Suggestions

    Go ahead and eat these muffins as-is, or you can top them with a little extra maple syrup. Add some more fresh fruit on the side you like!

    Let any extras cool completely before storing. You can keep the muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for easy, individual breakfasts throughout the week. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

    Let's eat!
