Guest Post: Pecan French Toast

Hi everyone! I am excited to be guest posting on Against All Grain today and sharing this Paleo gluten-free french toast. I have been following Danielle's blog for quite some time now and was thrilled when she released her first cookbook. All the recipes that I have tried both from her blog and book are equally delicious. One of my favorites is her World Famous Grain Free Sandwich Bread. It came out perfectly the first time I made it despite not being able to whip the egg whites correctly! Even my non-Paleo, bread-loving husband gave it a 2 thumbs up and said that this bread was a winner.

To make it an extra special breakfast or weekend treat, I whipped up some Cinnamon Pecan French Toast using thick slices of the grain free bread. Served with whipped grass fed butter and raw honey, this is definitely a feast for the senses.† The texture and flavor comes together perfectly that no one would ever guess that this is grain free!

Give this a try and I hope you will all enjoy it =)
