Caramel pecan french Toast #Glutenfree

Every once in a while I like to have something really decadent for  breakfast, my daughter loves French toast and we don’t have  it that often , so I thought it might be nice to make something special.

I love that I can use the New @Dempsters GlutenZero gluten-free bread for making French toast.  It has become a staple in our house for making sandwiches – especially my daughter’s favorite ->grilled cheese.  I haven’t tried it out in French toast yet, so this was the perfect opportunity .

One of the things that I really like about GlutenZero is the fact that it stands up very well compared to other gluten free bread and doesn’t fall apart as easily as others do, and is great on its own.

Dempster’s®  GlutenZero offers great taste without the worry -> it is made in a 100% dedicated Gluten-free Canadian facility. Dempster’s Bakery Gluten Zero™ is certified by the Canadian Celiac Association’s Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP) as a safe, gluten-free product, and is a delicious option for anyone with celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity.

We know the challenge with following a gluten-free diet is finding a bread that doesn’t compromise on taste or texture.  With this in mind,Dempster’s®  has developed a new line of gluten-free breads called GlutenZero that deliver a just-out-of-the-oven great taste and moist texture. Dempster’s®  GlutenZero is baked fresh and delivered fresh to the grocery store.

GlutenZero comes in two varieties, a 100% whole grain variety and white, perfect for satisfying everyone’s tastes – and both are low in saturated fat, low in cholesterol and have no Trans Fat AND certified by the Canadian Celiac Association as a safe 100% gluten-free product.

GlutenZero whole grain variety is made with the goodness of 100% whole grains and provides 3g of fibre, 3g of protein and 21g of whole grains per 75g serving with whole grain sorghum flour, whole grain brown rice flour, whole grain millet flour, sunflower seeds and flaxseed.For households with kids, the white GlutenZero variety is a great tasting option for yummy kid-approved sandwiches or toast made with the goodness of rice flour and heart-healthy ground flaxseed.

I decided to use a bit of a twist on a recipe I used a long long time ago, it is very decadent and rich so I wouldn’t recommend having it that often, but it’s perfect for having  for a special brunch. I also don’t think that you need any extra maple syrup to go with it but it does depend on your preference.

Yesterday was National Pecan day so I thought I would celebrate another one of my daughter’s favourite’s…pecans. The recipe comes out more like a rich bread pudding, I don’t find it too sweet, although I wouldn’t add any extra syrup to it.
