This recipe for Sugar Free French Toast tastes just as good as its sugary counterpart.
However, this recipe is made without adding a bunch of sugar to it!
Sugar Free French Toast
This is a great breakfast idea for anyone following a sugar free lifestyle.
I know that I enjoy this more without the added sugar.
I have options to make this low in carbs or or gluten free.
Follow this recipe for Gluten Free Challah Bread. Challah Bread is probably the best bread to use for French toast because of its density. However, I also have a recipe for Homemade Low Carb bread that you could use as well.
This Sugar Free French Toast Recipe can also be made as a casserole.
A casserole is a nice idea when you want to serve a lot of people at the same time.
Even better, in my opinion, is that making this as a French Toast Casserole can be done in advance! Just prepare your French Toast Casserole the night before and pop it into an oven the next morning.
Here is how to adjust this recipe for a casserole.
Instead of slicing your bread into slices, slice it into cubes and place those cubes into a prepped baking dish. Combine together the eggs milk, vanilla extract and sugar alternative in a bowl and then pour the mixture over the cubes of bread. Cover and refrigerate over night. The next morning sprinkle ground cinnamon or sugar free syrup and then bake covered for 45-50 minutes at 350.

Here is what you will need to make this Sugar Free French Toast
- Bread- 6-8 pieces sliced as thick as possible. Use the bread of your choice or follow this recipe for Gluten Free Challah Bread. Challah Bread is probably the best bread to use for French toast because of its density. However, I also have a recipe for Homemade Low Carb bread that you could use as well.
- Butter- ¼ cup (½ stick).
- Ground Cinnamon-½ teaspoon.
- Nutmeg- ¼ teaspoon
- Sugar Alternative- Equivalent to 2 tablespoons of sugar. Granular works well.
- Eggs- 2.
- Milk- ½ cup. Can use a milk alternative such as a nut milk.
- Vanilla Extract- 1 teaspoon.
How to make Sugar Free French Toast
- Start by melting your butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- While your butter is melting, combine together the sugar alternative (if granular), nutmeg and cinnamon. Set this bowl aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Then, stir in the ingredients from the bowl and the sugar alternative if that alternative is non granular. Lastly, pour this mixture into a shallow bowl or pie plate.
- Dredge or dip each piece of bread through the mixture in the shallow bowl, covering it entirely. Then place the bread onto the heated skillet. Cook until browned, flipping midway through. Your toast should be golden and the eggs should be cooked.
