Ingredients

8 pieces Gluten Free Bread
6 tbsp dairy free milk of choice
2 tbsp ground flax seed
2 tbsp coconut sugar
1 tbsp date syrup
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 cup dairy free milk of choice
vegan butter use as needed with how many batches you make in your pan

Instructions

This recipe uses 8 pieces of bread, usually the size of gluten free bread is small, so each slice yields about 3 pieces. Therefore this recipe makes 24 French Toast Sticks
In a small bowl, add in 2 tbsp ground flax seed and 6 tbsp of dairy free milk of choice. Whish together with a fork until combined. Then set on the counter for 5 minutes while you prepare everything else. This will create your flax egg! How easy right? Letting it set will create that egg white texture.
In a large bowl add in 1/2 cup of dairy free milk of choice, date syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, almond extract and coconut sugar. Whisk together until full incorporated.
With your fork check the flax egg, it should have thickned perfectly by now. Pour into the large bowl and whisk to incorproate into the rest of the liquid ingredients.
In a large skillet add in your vegan butter, turn on medium heat. Let it heat for 2 minutes before adding your first piece of bread.
Start dreadging your gluten free bread in the mixture with a fork, pushing it down and flipping it over so both sides are dreadged in it perfectly. Then add to the heated frying pan with the vegan butter.
Gluten free bread takes a bit longer to crisp. So start with 4 minutes and if you need to go longer on each side to brown do so. If you are making mulitply batches, the first batch always takes longer to brown because it is just warming up.
Then cut your bread into sticks. Sprinkle powdered sugar ontop and get dunking into some of your favorite maple syrup! Enjoy!

Notes

Cinnamon Caramel Vegan French Toast Sticks mixture can store in refrigerator for up to 5 days to use to make throughout the week.
After making the French Toast cut them in strips even if you aren't going to eat them at the moment. Then store in an air tight container and in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. During the week you can pull them out and put in the toaster oven to reheat for breakfast. They heat up perfectly! Start with 3 minutes
If you made a batch and want to freeze the sticks that works well too! You will be prepped for weeks to come. Make sure they are in an air tight container. Make sure that when you stack the sticks in the container to separate each layer by wax paper so they don't stick. Zap them in the microwave for 5 seconds, then reheat in the toaster oven starting with 3 minutes.
