15 May Crusted & Date-Sweetened Banana Bread French Toast {oil-, gluten- & refined sugar-free}

This post is sponsored by our cereal fam at Attune Foods! We appreciate the love they put into their simple ingredient, organic & non GMO products, and today we are showing love for their cinnamon brown rice cereal 🙂

When breakfast and dessert merge, you know you’re in for a treat! I’ve taken our date-sweetened banana bread, crusted it with cinnamon crispy brown rice cereal and turned it into french toast—talk about a flavor explosion you won’t soon forget. After this, I’m not sure if breakfast will ever be quite the same. The best part is, this sweet stack of glory was crafted with zero refined sugar or oil, so feel free to indulge yourself!

The toppings for this are optional, and endless, but I suggest maple syrup and berries as that is what we tested out and fell in love with. What will you top your banana bread french toast with?

• Author: Jasmine Briones
• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 50 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
• Yield: 4 servings
• Category: Breakfast

Ingredients

• 1 loaf Date-Sweetened Banana Bread, cut into 8-10 slices
• 3 cups Erewhon Organic Cinnamon Crispy Brown Rice Cereal
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
• 2 tablespoons flax seed or chia seed meal (aka ground into a fine powder)
• 2 medjool dates
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: Maple syrup and fresh fruit, to serve

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a food processor (or blender), grind the cereal down into a rough powder, pour into a shallow dish and set aside.
3. In a blender, blend together the flax seed meal, medjool dates, almond milk and dates until smooth. Pour into another shallow dish and set aside.
4. Add the banana bread slices into the batter (1-2 at a time) and soak, turning once, for about 15 seconds each side.
5. Let the excess batter drip off, then dredge the banana bread in the crushed cereal, pressing gently to be sure it adheres. Set aside on a plate and continue with the remaining slices.
6. On a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the french toast and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
7. Serve with maple syrup and fresh fruit.
