Surprise someone special one morning with this healthy yet decadent french toast recipe. It calls for cornbread, but if your gluten-free diet doesn't allow for that kind of thing, stop by Ginger Lemon Girl for a gluten-free, vegan version. For more gluten-free recipes, poke around CraftFoxes. You'll find gluten-free recipes for lemon cupcakes, doughnuts, and birthday cakes.
Ingredients:
1 pan of Mock Cornbread (see above)
1/4 teaspoon liquid vanilla stevia
2 ounces store-bought dark chocolate, cut into 1" squares
6 eggs
1 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Coconut oil for frying
Paleo Chocolate-Stuffed French Toast
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300°F.
Make the cornbread, and when it's cool from the oven, trim the crust from the sides and bottom.
Step 2
Cut the bread into 4 squares. Then cut each square on the diagonal so that you have 8 triangles that are about 1 & 1/4" thick.
Step 3
Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper, and bake the cut bread for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Flip the bread pieces over, and bake them for another 15 minutes. (Baking dries the bread so that it will absorb the egg mixture.)
Step 5
When the bread is done, remove it from the oven to cool, and turn off the oven.
Step 6
When the bread is cool, use a serrated knife to make an incision in the longest side of each triangle. Move the knife from left to right inside the incision to create a pocket for the chocolate.
Step 7
Stuff 2 squares of dark chocolate into each pocket. Repeat until all the bread has been stuffed.
Step 8
In a 9" x 13" or 3-quart baking dish, thoroughly combine the eggs, coconut milk, and salt with a fork.
Step 9
Place the stuffed bread in the egg mixture, and soak each side for a few minutes.
Step 10
Preheat a 12" heavy-bottomed skillet over about medium heat. Fry the stuffed French toast in coconut oil until nicely browned on each side.
