Bulk Cooking for GFCF: French Toast Sticks

We continue on our path cooking gluten free for our son with Down Syndrome. Getting up early in the morning (his bus picks him up at 6:15) and cooking him pancakes or muffins can be pretty hard some days. I just saw this recipe from Recipe Zaar posted on Tip Nut and thought hmmmmm....I could make this recipe gluten free! So here it is with a few changes to make it work for our kids.

Make Ahead GF French Toast Sticks
2 eggs
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk substitute of your choice(we use almond)
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
8 slices gluten free bread, each cut into 4 strips
3 tablespoons cf margarine

In a shallow dish, beat together the eggs, sugar, milk, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg with a fork until well blended.Dip each bread strip into the egg mixture, coating completely.In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon CF margarine over medium heat.Cook the bread strips a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden, adding more margarine as needed.Serve immediately or cool completely, flash freeze on cookie sheet, then store in a labeled freezer bag.


To serve: reheat in the oven, toaster oven, or microwave until heated through.

Are convenience foods really convenient if you have to make a batch yourself? Not sure, but at 5:30 in the morning anything I can pop in the microwave works for me. I am not an expert at gluten free cooking so if you see anything amiss let me know!
