Low Sugar Gluten Free French Toast

Thick slices of gluten free bread soak up a rich custard of eggs, whole milk, vanilla, and warm cinnamon until every bite is soft in the middle with a golden, crisp edge. A hot skillet does the real work here, toasting each slice to a deep golden brown while the center stays custardy and firm to the touch. Fresh berries add a juicy, bright contrast on top, and the whole thing comes together in one pan with minimal fuss. It's a cozy weekend breakfast that holds up beautifully on a diet focused on cutting added sugar, especially when you skip the syrup drizzle and let the berries and cinnamon carry the sweetness instead. Simple, comforting, and worth putting on repeat.
