Overnight Blueberry French Toast

How yummy does this look? If I could have you all over for breakfast this is what I would make us! Plus it is gluten free! I didn’t say calorie free, which is why I would also invite you to stay for a workout after we ate ;). This recipe is super easy but does take 10-12 hours of chill time in the fridge before you can pop this tasty dish in the oven.

I grew up in a gluten free house and My entire family loves Udi’s Gluten Free Foods! I can tell you first hand that anyone who is diagnosed with a gluten intolerance is very thankful brands like Udi’s exist.

My mom is a rockstar in the kitchen and loves the challenge of taking recipes that our family loves and converting them to a gluten free option that everyone can enjoy. Following in my mom’s footsteps I took her Overnight Blueberry French Toast recipe and added my own unique twist to make it gluten free and oh so yummy!

Udi’s Gluten Free Cinnamon and Raisin Bread was the perfect addition to this already winner of a recipe. This is perfect for a holiday morning or any other special occasion and makes the house smell incredibly awesome!

Ingredients

1 loaf of Udi’s Gluten Free Cinnamon and Raisin Bread
3 eggs
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups coconut or almond milk
1/2 cup gluten free flour
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, chilled
1 cup frozen blueberries

Directions

The night before

Grease a 13″ x 9″ baking dish. Rip bread into multiple pieces, about 4-5 per slice. Combine eggs, sugar, vanilla, and milk into a large bowl.
Add sliced bread and mix gently until most of the liquid is absorbed into bread.Place bread mixture evenly into prepared pan. Cover and set in refrigerator overnight.
In a small bowl combine flour, brown sugar,and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. Cover and set in refrigerator.

The next morning

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Scatter blueberries and sprinkle crumb mixture over bread.
Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
Before serving cut into squares and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

This recipe will serve between 4-6 people.

Blueberry Quinoa Pancakes

Oh pancakes! I love you so much! You are fluffy, sweet, and I adore eating you. My love for you has now been passed on to my son. Thank you for spreading smiles of joy around our kitchen table.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I could eat these pancakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In an effort to cut our food budget I attempted to recreate my favorite quinoa pancake in the family kitchen. After a few attempts I am confident that this recipe is the winner! Try it out for yourself this weekend and see.

Ingredients

3 cups cooked red quinoa
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
6 large eggs
1 cup vanilla greek yogurt (I use Trader Joes)
1/3 cup of milk of your choice
1 fresh lemon squeezed
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 bag of frozen blueberries (I use the wild organic blueberries from Trader Joes)

Directions

In a medium bowl, whisk together quinoa, flour, and baking powder. In another medium bowl, whisk together eggs, yogurt, milk, and brown sugar until smooth. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and whisk to combine.
Add vanilla and lemon juice and whisk again. Rinse frozen blueberries under water and drain. Next gently fold in blueberries.
Lightly coat a large skillet with butter or cooking spray and heat over medium. Drop batter by 1/4 cup onto skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on top. Flip and cook until golden brown on underside. Repeat.
Makes about 12-14 pancakes. Your taste buds will soon be thanking you. Enjoy!
