This low FODMAP blueberry French toast bake is simply delicious and perfect for Christmas morning.  This low FODMAP recipe has minimal prep. You can make it the night before and let the refrigerator do all the work! Wake up on Christmas morning to the comforting aromas of nutmeg and cinnamon.

If possible use bread that is going slightly stale as this will help stop your bake from going soggy. I leave my bread out on the bench for a few hours to dry out before making the French toast bake. This dish is best if you leave it overnight to soak. This dish is designed to feed 10 to 12 people so if you are serving fewer people watch your portion size to make sure you don’t consume too much gluten free bread. Also if you are a vegetarian, serve the French toast bake with a side of low FODMAP fruit instead of bacon.

Option to Reduce Serving Sizes: Here are the quantities if you want to make this recipe for 5 to 6 people. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 3 days. Ingredients: 250g gluten free bread (9oz or 1/2 a loaf), 90g (3.2oz or 1/2 cup) fresh or frozen blueberries, 4 large eggs, 280ml (1 cup & 2 tbsp) soy protein milk or low FODMAP milk, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp vanilla essence, 50g (1.8oz or 1/4 cup) brown sugar. Ingredients for cinnamon brown sugar topping: 35g (1.25oz) brown sugar, 35g (1.25oz) gluten free all purpose flour, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 35g (1.25oz) dairy free spread (or butter). Use a 20cm or 8 inch baking pan.

Method

  1. Grease the oven proof dish with dairy free spread (olive oil spread or butter) or spray with nonstick spray.
  2. Slice the gluten free bread into 2.5cm (1 inch) cubes. Spread the cubes evenly into the oven proof dish and sprinkle with the blueberries. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, low FODMAP milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla essence, and brown sugar together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Pour evenly over the bread. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  4. Preheat oven to 180ºC (350°F). Remove oven proof dish from the refrigerator.
  5. Prepare the cinnamon brown sugar topping. In a medium sized bowl whisk the brown sugar, gluten free all purpose flour, and cinnamon until there are no lumps. Cut the dairy free spread (olive oil spread or butter) into cubes - you want it cold and not at room temperature. Using your fingers or two forks, rub 3/4 of the dairy free spread (olive oil spread or butter) into the mixture until you have small bread crumb sized lumps with a few larger lumps (add more butter if needed). Sprinkle evenly across the top of the bread and then add the remaining dairy free spread (olive oil spread or butter) in small lumps evenly across the top.
  6. Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 40 minutes, then check and continue cooking for another 10 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve immediately and top with bacon, maple syrup or fresh fruit.
  7. Cover leftovers and refrigerate for up to 3 to 4 days. To reheat place the serve in the microwave and heat on high for 40 seconds or until warm. Then transfer to an oven proof dish and grill/broil in the oven on high for 1 to 2 minutes, until the top goes crunchy.
