Spiced Orange Baked French Toast

Crispy and soft, delicious, spiced, warm bursting of fall flavors. Orange zest with spices, in a creamy base, what would be better than that? They are gluten free friendly!

French toast

I’m sure when you read french toast, you just  blink, and say what? why ? it’s not healthy! This one has no butter  and minimum milk required. And ya, it contains eggs, and they are really nutritious. You can still substitute milk with  non dairy option.

French toast typically come to mind when we think of a special weekend, or in a weekday morning and you wish it be very special . Very often we forget about ourselves, running around for work, study, kids, parents, whatever can stop you from having some moments. Well this french toast is guaranteed to give you the moment, the warm moment on cold day, that find its way to your heart and soul. It’s easy to make soak it overnight, put in the oven, and you have some time you can finish other stuff. And then enjoy it with a black coffee, or a herbal tea, your call.

Why this french toast:

  • Packed with protein,  spices with anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants too.
  • Easy to make, and fun to eat.
  • Gluten free friendly , and refined sugar free

What stops you really from making this? Just procrastinating and denying yourself some deliciousness and  a pleasure, that oh no not so guilty. Grab your jacket and go buy ingredients, all are easy to get. However, if you can’t find coconut sugar around, you can order it here .

    Love this one and the orange is a perfect match to the sweetness Farida!
    I know it’s been ages so hello my friend!
    It’s been forever since I had some time to look at my friend’s blogs and I’ve missed yours. So happy my afternoon turned out that I had spare time. I try to stay up to date with social postings, but it’s good to stop by the site now and again, right? Cheers!
