Easy GF French Toast in a Mug

  I recently found out that gluten was messing with my digestive system, and it was best if I ate gluten less often.  Since then, I have almost gone completely gluten free.  So, I have been coming up with creative ways that I can still eat the food that I enjoy most, sans gluten.  I have previously savored this recipe using whole grain bread, and I found that it works with gluten free white bread too.

What you need:

• A mug (I use a giant mug)
• 1 Tablespoon of butter
• 2 Slices of bread (GF or whatever you prefer)
• A separate bowl
• 1 Egg
• 3 Tablespoons of milk
• A dash of cinnamon
• ½ Teaspoon of sugar
• A few drops of vanilla
• Syrup (if you wish)

 {One of my favorite mugs.}

Directions

1. Melt the butter in the mug by putting it in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
2. Cube (or rip) the bread into bite-sized pieces and place in the mug. {The egg mixture.}
3. In a separate bowl, mix the egg, milk, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla with a fork.
4. Pour over the bread, and let it sit for a minute so the bread can soak up the mixture.
5. Put it in the microwave for approximately two minutes.
6. Let cool.  Add syrup if desired.  Enjoy!

Note: I used 3 slices of gluten free bread since the slices were very small.  Remember: you may also use regular bread for this recipe as well.

Finished product!
