Cinnamon and Apple Baked French Toast

May 22, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 24 Comments

Hi Everyone,

May  is National Celiac Awareness Month and I teamed up with Udi’s Gluten Free to help raise awareness of Celiac Disease.  As you know from my recipes, I am not allergic to gluten, but I do try to make some recipes that are gluten-free for those who may have Celiac Disease.  If you don’t know Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder where gluten triggers the immune system to attack the lining of the small intestine.  Over time, Celiac Disease can cause malabsorption, leading to a wide range of health problems such as iron and mineral deficiencies, osteoporosis, liver disease, infertility, neurological disorders, and even some forms of cancer.

Cinnamon and Apples Baked French Toast

So what is Gluten anyway?  Gluten is the protein found in wheat, barley, rye and related wheat species such as spelt and kamut.  It helps baked goods keep their form and chewy texture and is also added to other food items more and more, both for consistency and taste purposes.  Gluten is found in a high range of foods besides baked goods and breads, it’s also in foods like pickles, beans, candy, marinades and more.  I’m not going to give you the whole speech about Gluten and Celiac Disease, because to be honest, I don’t know too much about it and I don’t want to give the wrong information.  It’s actually a disease that I have been learning about when I started blogging and now I am discovering a lot of people I know have it.  If you know someone or you may think  you have Celiac Disease and want to get checked, I recommend going to Udi’s website and checking out the links they have provided.

Cinnamon and Apples Baked French Toast


For teaming up with Udi’s Gluten Free, they sent me a kaboodle of goodies to try out.  I couldn’t believe my eyes when I received my package.  The package ranged anywhere from hot dog rolls, to poptarts to muffins.  My Husbands eyes lit up when he saw the muffins.  He took them to work, and I never got one.  He said they were good.  I was pretty proud that my Husband ate a gluten-free product.  You have to know if it doesn’t have all-purpose flour in it, he turns his nose up to it.  Also in my package I received a loaf of Cinnamon Rains Bread and I LOVE cinnamon raisin bread, it’s my favorite.  I never buy it though, because I know I will eat the whole loaf.  So with my loaf I received, I made a Gluten Free Cinnamon and Apples Baked French Toast.  This has been on my bucket list forever!!   I don’t know why I waited to so long??

Cinnamon and Apples Baked French Toast

First thing I did was cut up my Udi’s Gluten Free Cinnamon and Raisin Bread and placed it in my little baking dish.

Then I tossed some apples in cinnamon and stevia and placed it in with the bread.  Don’t mind the pictures, I took these at 11 at night.

I checked all of my ingredients to make sure it is Gluten-free before making the batter.  It contains egg substitute, greek yogurt, coconut milk and vanilla extract.  I poured my batter on top of my bread and apple mixture and placed it in the refrigerator overnight.

I was so excited in the morning to make my Baked French Toast, I couldn’t wait!!!  I made this on Sunday morning and this was the first time my family and I sat down together for a meal.  Little Jenny was home and so was my Husband.  This just made me so happy!!  When I took my bread mixture out of the refrigerator  it was a little frozen.  I guess the fridge is set to cold.  I baked my french toast in the oven for about 50 minutes, but because it was partially frozen the timing probably took a little longer.  When I opened the oven door the bread was exploding!  I love that!!  Here it is fresh out of the oven!

The baked french toast may not look like a lot, when you make it, but it is very filling.  I cut up some large slices and gave it to Little Jenny and my Husband for breakfast.  Jenny loved it!!  She told me it didn’t need any maple syrup because it was perfect the way it was.  My Husband of course used maple syrup.  They both loved it!  I took a slice myself, and oh my gosh!!!  The cinnamon and apple combination in the bread is amazing!   Every bite you take you get a chunk of apple and a taste of cinnamon and because the bread had raisins in it, it made it all that much better.  The bread was also soft, but yet firm to hold together!  I couldn’t be happier with this recipe if I tried!  I also love that it’s under 200 calories and full of protein!!  This is a win, win recipe and I was requested to make it again.  My Husband actually preferred it over his eggs!  Wow!  We had one slice left and Little Jenny is taking it to her boyfriend’s house, she wanted him to try it too!

Gluten free, healthy baked french toast made with yogurt and coconut and chock full of apples and cinnamon.
Serves: 4 Large servings
Ingredients
  • 6 slices Udi's Cinnamon Raisin Bread, cut into cubes
  • ¾ cup egg substitute
  • ¾ cup unsweetened coconut Milk or non-fat milk
  • 1 cup greek yogurt, plain, 0% Fat
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 packets stevia (for less sweetness only use one)
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup apple, peeled, seeded, diced small
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 packet stevia
Instructions
  1. Spray about 6 x 4 baking dish with cooking spray; and top with bread.
  2. In a bowl, add your apples, cinnamon and 1 pkt. stevia; mix well and add to the bread crumbs (I also mixed some in between the bread.
  3. In a bowl, add egg substitute, coconut milk, yogurt, salt, 2 pkt.s stevia and vanilla extract. Mix well and pour over the top of your bread and apple mixture. Push the bread down with a spoon to make sure it gets covered with mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  4. Take bread mixture out of the refrigerator and set a side.
  5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, bake french toast for 30 - 50 minutes. (Mine froze in the refrigerator, so my cooking time maybe off, it took me 50 minutes, but 35 -40 min. should be enough) Once the center is firm, the french toast bake is done. If the top starts to brown, gently cover with with aluminium foil.
  6. Let the french toast cool for a few minutes and serve warm. Top with maple syrup if desired.
Notes
Please note the cooking time may very because mine was partially frozen, it should take anywhere from 35 - 40 minutes. Just insert a toothpick in the middle to make it sure it comes out clean.

Cinnamon and Apples Baked French Toast

Be sure you check out Udi’s Gluten free site to get the facts and more information on Celiac Disease.   Just think 1 in 133 Americans have Celiac Disease.  That is just horrible, but at least with companies like Udi’s there are still options to have your favorite foods gluten-free.

Oh, and speaking of gluten-free, Udi’s also sent me pizza crusts, and for a quick dinner, I made my Husband a cheese and pepperoni pizza and he loved it!

I want to tell everyone to have a great day and send out a special thank you Udi’s for sending me all of your goodies to try out!!  We have loved them so far and I can’t wait to dig in to the Snickerdoodle Cookies!  Yum!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Thank you Jennifer for this recipe! My husband was diagnosed with celiac disease a year ago and it has been a difficult and challenging journey for both of us. My kitchen is gluten free and I also chose to eat the same diet as him due to the cross contamination issues. I thank you raising awareness about the disease. I haven’t seen Udi’s cinnamon raisin bread yet but can’t wait to try it.

      You would think I have been apple picking. You should see my fridge, I have about 30 apples in it. For some reason they keep accumulating and I haven’t even bought any of them!

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.

Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
