Stuffed French Toast Gluten Free, Dairy Free
I had been craving Stuffed French Toast Gluten Free, Dairy Free, so when Haggen grocery stores (a high end Pacific Northwest grocery chain) asked me to create a classic recipe with a fun gourmet twist, I was excited!
I had thought about a few, but the one that stuck out the most was a stuffed French toast. I have been making stuffed French toast since my early 20’s. I’ve tried several variations, but this time around I wanted to play with chocolate and raspberry flavors.
Cream cheese is essential inside of a stuffed French toast. Before going dairy free I would just use an organic cream cheese. Now that we are dairy free, finding vegan cream cheese is easy and it tastes very good. Daiya is an excellent brand, but I have used Go Veggie and the Trader Joes brand as well. We love them all.
For the second part of the filling preserves are typically my go-to. This time around I wanted a chocolate nut spread and I knew Haggen would have a delicious and healthy version.
Stuffed French Toast Gluten Free, Dairy Free is the perfect breakfast to wow your guests!
I found a brand that I had never tried and I ended up falling in love with! Wild Friends makes several nut butters and its Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter sounded amazing!
The inside is stuffed with the vegan cream cheese and chocolate coconut peanut butter. The “sandwich” is then dipped in an egg and milk mixture flavored with cinnamon and vanilla. I cook the French toast on a skillet with coconut oil. The coconut oil gives it amazing flavor.

I then drizzled it with a raspberry syrup and garnished with fresh raspberries.
This stuffed French toast was absolutely decadent. It had a slight salty crunch from the peanut butter and a perfect cream cheese touch. The raspberry syrup gave it just the right amount of sweetness and I savored each bite.
This will be the show stopper for Mothers Day breakfast or brunch and it is beautiful to display. The best part is how simple it is to make and everyone will absolutely love it.
I can’t wait to try this again and I am sure you will love it.
