This recipe for Sugar Free French Toast tastes just as good as its sugary counterpart.

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.
