This is the recipe that replaced the last bit of gluten-free grains in my 5-year old’s diet. YAY!!!! (Incidentally, it was the waffle recipe out of Eat Like a Dinosaur
that did the trick for my 2-year old.) My daughter loves these and eats them every morning for breakfast. The goal with this recipe (besides developing something with protein it that satisfies my 5-year old’s very sensitive palate) was to create a healthy and portable version of French toast, without the work of first making paleo bread, then soaking in eggs, then frying. I was inspired by those frozen toaster French toasts that were at one point a staple for us (so embarrassing to admit). Borrowing the technique from sponge cake recipes, this flat-bread ends up with a consistency that is surprisingly similar to French toast. They are also sweet enough to eat plain, are delicious warm or cold, and hold together well enough that they could be eaten in the car on the way to work or to school. They also happen to be nut-free!
Ingredients:
- 8 eggs, separated
- ¼ cup Maple Syrup
- 1 ½ Tbsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/3 cup full-fat Coconut Milk
- 1/3 cup Arrowroot Flour
- 1/3 cup Coconut Flour, sifted
, sifted1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9”x13” baking dish with wax paper. If helps to grease the wax paper with palm shortening, but isn’t completely necessary (I usually don’t bother).
2. Using a standing mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form (you can also do this with a hand mixer or even by hand if you prefer).
3. In a small bowl, combine egg yolks, maple syrup, cinnamon, coconut milk, and arrowroot powder.
4. Gently pour the yolk mixture onto the egg whites. Add about half of the sifted coconut flour. Gently fold the mixtures together. As they start to combine, add the rest of the sifted coconut flour. Fold until fully combined.
5. Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread out evenly. Dust with extra cinnamon, if desired. Bake for 18 minutes, until golden brown and spongy to the touch.
6. Very shortly after removing from the oven, lift the flat-bread out of the pan (using the sides of the wax paper, or just flip the whole thing over onto a cutting board). Carefully peel the wax paper off the bottom. Slice into squares and enjoy warm or refrigerate for later.

I am not a stalker, but I am in love with you. I have been searching for a fun Amusement park food that will make my family shut up about churros and funnel cakes. You just gave it to me. Seriously, I love you, and so does my husband. My kids do not know it yet, but they will have the BEST snacks ever at the park tomorrow. And healthy breakfasts too.
ThePaleoMom says
LOL! Thank you SO much!
Irreverent Angel says
One quick question, do you mean parchment paper? I didn’t think you could use wax paper in the oven.
Marian says
I would use parchment paper but I think you can use wax paper….
Anne-Marie says
I’ve always had terrible luck when using wax paper in the oven. Switching to parchment made life so much easier!
Anne-Marie says
Does this bread rely on the sugar in the maple syrup for rising or texture? Could I use sugar free syrup?
ThePaleoMom says
Parchment paper or wax paper will work. Wax paper is safe to use as long as the temperature is low enough that it doesn’t go brown.
The maple syrup is for flavor only. All of the rise comes from the beaten egg whites. You could substitute a sugar free syrup or honey or water or almond milk or any combination of those. I’m not sure what substituting with a high fat liquid would do to the texture, so I would avoid substituting with more coconut milk.
CRAFTBOT says
I stumbled upon you with a tweet from Paleo Parents…
Just wondering if the root flour was necessary or if I could sub almond flour?
Now I am off to check out the rest of your site!
Thanks!!!
ThePaleoMom says
The arrowroot flour gives a much spongier texture, more reminiscent of french toast, but I did try a version of this with almond flour first. For that version, I reduced the coconut flour to 1/4 cup and used 1/2 cup almond flour. It’s a bit more mealy and a little more crumbly but it would still qualify as portable. And it was definitely still tasty. This is a good option for anyone worried about the carbohydrate content from the arrowroot flour.
Sarah says
How many servings would you say this makes? Thank you for this great recipe!
ThePaleoMom says
My 5-year old gets about 6 servings out of this (I typically cut it into 12 squares and she eats 2 squares at a time). If adults are eating it, I would think you’d get 4 servings.
Sarah says
Thank you!
Vickie S says
I’d like your opinion of maple as far as Paleo is concerned, since it is a sugar.
ThePaleoMom says
I think it’s fine for an occasional treat and for those who can handle or need more carbs (like children, endurance athletes, and older individuals). I have talked about carbs and sugars in more detail in these posts:

Esther says
Can u substitute arrow root flour with tapioca flour? Love your website!
ThePaleoMom says
Thanks! I think tapioca flour would work but probably change the texture slightly (would probably be a little denser and a little spongier). But yes, I do think it would work. If you try it, comment back on how it works.
Suzan says
I’m not the original poster, but I just made it with tapioca starch and it worked well. My kids like it! Hooray!
Esther says
I’m on the whole 30 until the end of April. BUT I’m definitely making this when I’m done!
Steph says

Yum! The kids and I just made this (had to substitute the coconut milk). It’s almost gone! Had to give the kids more maple syrup for dipping. [hangs head in shame] Thank you so much for experimenting and posting all these great recipes. You’re awesome!
Katie Moore says
Hi,
I just had a quick question in regards to your website. If you could email me at your convenience that would be great!

Suzanne Christian says
Hubby and 2 preschooler boys all loved this. We served with applesauce. yum!
Di says
Yummo! Everyone had some for breakfast this morning. The kids loved it and announced they want it everyday. Hubby liked it but would rather only have it occasionally. The last slice is being dipped in my pumpkin soup…I really missed having toast to dip, and the flavour combination of this bread with the soup more than compensates! Thanks for an awesome recipe!
PS, my tin of arrowroot flour has tapioca in (), so maybe they’re the same thing?
Mylesjacobsmom says
Soooooo excited to try this and more excited to have found you…I am Paleo but my son, although gluten free, is not…yet!! We don’t do nuts, besides coconut, and it is so hard to find a Clean recipe w/o nuts. So thamks soooooooo much.
Question…do ou think these would freeze well? My sons new school does not support his GFness moreso Paleo so I will have to send breakfast, lunch and snack everyday. Trying to prep meals in advance if possible.
Again…you rock!!
ThePaleoMom says
Thank you!!!! These travel super well so they are a great breakfast/snack to pack for school. I keep mine in a plastic container in the fridge for up to a week. I haven’t tried freezing them (because we go through them so quickly!), but I think they would freeze well.
Michelle says
Hi!
First, I have to say I just love your website. I found it because you were featured in WW! Congratulations to you. I will be following your site, you have so much great information! I will be trying this recipe for my children 🙂
ThePaleoMom says
Thank you Michelle! I think you have me confused with Stacy Toth of http://www.paleoparents.com who was featured in the Woman’s World article, but I’m SO glad that you found me! You’ll also find lots of great recipes and information on their site, but I hope you continue exploring mine too! 🙂

Amanda M says
Made this for breakfast this morning and they LOVED it!!! My very picky 4 year old took a bite and said “mmm…I love this!”
Amanda M says
Made it AGAIN this morning, this time with cocoa powder added for a chocolate effect – it’s gone AGAIN! Cleared the plates!
Karen says
Finally made this. YUM! Kids reached for seconds and thirds. And now I see the cocoa powder option. Oh the possibilities. Thanks so much for all your experimental baking successes.
Kathryn says
Can this be frozen in single squares? I’m just not sure how it’d survive freezing.
ThePaleoMom says
I haven’t tried, but I think it would freeze well. I will be freezing some next week in anticipation of having no kitchen for 5 days (to repair floors after water damage). If you don’t try it before I do, I will definitely let you know how it goes!
CaracasMama says
Hi, I love your website. Thanks so much for all the great information. I am going to try this recipe TODAY! one question though, I am making it for my niece who has a sensitivity to egg yolks. Any substitution ideas for the yolks (the whites are fine)…
Thanks so much!
Susan
ThePaleoMom says
Hmm. Maybe some more coconut milk? The whites are what hold it together but if you omit the yolks, you’ll need more fat and liquid.
Kristin says
Any suggestions for substitute for coconut flour? My son is allergic to coconut (you’re probably tired of me since I’m always asking about coconut subs). If I do all almond flour do you think it will fall apart too easily?
ThePaleoMom says
I would try 1 cup of almond flour as a first try (maybe 1 1/4 cup). I think there’s enough egg to hold it all together. Let me know how it works! Also, whatever you sub for the coconut milk, make sure you add some fat (so if you use almond milk, add a couple of Tbsp of your favorite oil too).
Kristin says
OK, I’ll try that at some point this month and if/when I do, I’ll let you know how it works.
Angela says
I made this today for breakfast — wonderful! Thank you so much for all of your fantastic recipes!
Tabitha says
Finally got around to making this- it is awesome! My picky 4 year old even liked it! One thing- the wax paper pulled off a layer when I took it off, so next time I’ll probably use parchment paper and grease it with some coconut oil.
Jennifer says
my kids love this recipe but are not fond of the bread recipes 🙁 i was thinking of baking this recipe in a loaf pan and slicing it like a regular bread loaf. (they really just have jelly sandwiches anyway so the sweetness wouldn’t matter.) thoughts on whether this is a good idea? could you recommend a time and temperature to cook it this way? thanks so much!!
ThePaleoMom says
I have never thought to try it. The recipe is similar to a sponge cake recipe which is always done on a jelly roll sheet. You might have better luck spreading it out over a jelly roll sheet (or even two) and then slicing squares to use as bread.
JessicaKW says
I made this for my kids yesterday and it was a huge hit! We called it French Toast Cake and they were so thrilled that I was giving them cake for breakfast. Thank you for a great family friendly recipe with much less sugar than their typical Sunday morning breakfast!
Rachel says
Just tried them with my 3 boys ages 8, 5, and 3. They all couldnt get enough!! Fantastic recipe! Thanks!!!
allison says
Double Yum! this is like dessert : ) Keep them coming please.
Leslie says
in the last day I have made the french toast bread recipe, the chewy granola bars and the yeast no nut bread in my bread maker. All the recipes turned out great and were delicious! thank you!
Lindsay says
P.S. Perfect paleo pregnancy comfort food! I am taking a momentary lapse in morning (and all day) sickness to make a batch or two of this!
Jamie says
I can’t get arrowroot flour ( I live overseas) would it work if I replaced it with almond flour or hazelnut flour?
ThePaleoMom says
You’d be better off replacing with another starch such as sweet potato starch or tapioca.
Sandra says
Thank you for this beautiful recipe! I have a question I hope you can answer. I made this bread this morning and the bottom layer of the bread is too eggy almost like a custard. THis layer is visable too. The picture your posted does not appear to have this problem. It’s not terribly bad, but, it’s not exactly a pleasant consistency either. Other than that, the bread is fabulous! Can you help me figure out what I did wrong?
rashelk says
Do you think this could be made without the arrowroot powder? I am strictly SCD and it is always a challenge for me to stick to it when making fun stuff for the kids that I cannot eat. Plus it is just that much more work to have to make different meals for us all. I try very hard not to do that. Thank you?
ThePaleoMom says
The arrowroot flour gives a much spongier texture, more reminiscent of french toast, but I did try a version of this with almond flour first. For that version, I reduced the coconut flour to 1/4 cup and used 1/2 cup almond flour. It’s a bit more mealy and a little more crumbly but still good.
rashelk says
Ok, Thank you!
Rachel says
Hi! Just made these. Can they be frozen?
Thanks!
ThePaleoMom says
Yep.
Becky says
I’ve made this twice now and REALLY love it! My three year old devours this as well. What a fantastic recipe! My only question is, mine doesn’t look like your picture. It comes out in a layered look; three layers actually. Kind of strange, but at least it still tastes great. Thoughts?
Tracy Sauso-Bawa says
This recipe is absolutely amazing. I have been having trouble converting my 3.5yo daughter to paleo. All fine with our 18 month old, but the eldest one has been hanging on to gluten free oat porridge for breakfast. Now I have something to give her, with sliced up fruit it will go down a treat! Thank you very very very much!
Danielle says
Thank you thank you !!!!!! You are so incredible.
Jana Martin says
Is there any way I could make this without eggs? Any subtitutes?
Liz says
We don’t have any coconut milk. Is there perhaps some combination of unrefined coconut oil, water, and/or extra coconut flour that would work as a substitute?
Melanie says
I made this recipe and I too had the bottom layer of the bread cook up to eggy almost like a custard. This layer is visable with the egg layer and the bread topping. Taste was great, but i don’t know what might have caused that texture? Can you help ?
ThePaleoMom says
It’s happened to me if I didn’t sift the coconut flour and get if well enough incorporated… other than that, I got nothin’.
Jude Rayburn says
Delicious! Best paleo breakfast ever! I’m 12 and I made it myself. This helps me to not be so mad at my mom fr making us eat paleo.
Kathy says
Have you ever added Pumpkin into this? I am looking to make this for tomorrow for a friends birthday! Thank you
ThePaleoMom says
No I haven’t! If you try it, let me know how it works!
Terri Schelpe says
What size baking dish?
Tamar England says
9”x13” — Tamar, Sarah’s assistant
Robin says
8 eggs? I’m not sure that much Egg Replacer would be a good sub but I’ll try it! Can’t have eggs, nuts, seeds. AIP here.

Marnie says
These are great! My problem is I am your classic must read the recipe but read it too fast and skip important step. Like I’ve already done the eggs whites so when I start reading the next part and it says mix yadayadayada infigure that just means everything. So I keep reading and see “add coconut flour”, which ofcourse I already have in there. Oops. So mine seprated in that egg layer that others posted about. Maybe that’s why? Also, I’m not sure when to stop folding. Should there be floaty chunks of eggwhite drifting around or get rid of all that? Anyway, it’s still yummy.
Christina Feindel says
I’m glad it still came out! I keep folding until it is uniform and thoroughly mixed. – Christina, Sarah’s assistant
Marnie says
I tried this again. Put a bit of egg white into egg yolk mixture and folded that in then put egg yolk mixture into eggs white being very patient about folding it in. Swapped out 1/4 c of maple syrup for honey. Worked wonderfully! Took longer to make it than the family took to eat it. Also did a version of swapping coconut flour for buckwheat flour. I have a son who is stubborn hanger on who would rather eat a loaf of toast than go paleo. Thought that was a better option. He ate half he recipe in one sitting! Thanks so much!
Jenni says
I made this last night and cut the into strips. This morning I reheated them in a frying pan with a little coconut oil. Nice and crispy. My kids love them!
Kara Klett says
I made this today but part of it didn’t set and it doesn’t look anything close to what yours does. I followed the recipe.
Christina Feindel says
In my experience, the edges touching the pan will bubble up during baking while the center will be dense and pretty like in the photo. You might try rotating it in the oven two or three times during cooking if your oven has uneven heating. – Christina, Sarah’s assistant
Melissa says
I’m going to try t his for Sunday Breakfast! I’m trying to slowly ease the grains out of my children’s diet. I have to be sneaky because the last time I tried, I was up front about it and there was some serious mutiny. I’m hoping that as I add all these yummy bread substitutes to their diets, they won’t notice the grain based breads that are being excluded 🙂
Kath says
Melissa, your new approach worked for me. I have three (10, 8 & 8) that have either nut based granola with coconut yogurt or pumpkin pancakes or ‘breakfast breads’ like this one with fruit every school day morning. All these things are so much yummier than gf bread and cornflakes it wasn’t too hard to win them over. Good luck!
Wende says
Are the egg yolks acting as a binder or leavening agent? I need to find the appropriate substitute due to an allergy. Thanks!
Tamar England says
Because this recipes uses so many eggs, I believe it may be difficult to find a good substitute. Sarah does discuss egg substitutes here: https://www.thepaleomom.com/2012/11/the-science-and-art-of-paleofying-part-2-binders.html She does have many other recipes that do not use egg. if you’re looking for something that is similar to a traditional pancake, try this recipe: https://www.thepaleomom.com/2012/05/recipe-plantain-pancakes-with-maple.html — Tamar, Sarah’s assistant
Paleo Mum says
Hi, I’ve made this a couple of times, following the recipe, and it looks nothing like yours. It tastes delicious, but it’s really rubbery in texture. I’ve tried stabilising the egg whites with some cream of tartar but the end result has been the same. Can you please tell me what size eggs you’re using? Mine are 800g so I wonder if there’s just too much liquid? Any advice you can give me would be great. Thanks!
ThePaleoMom says
I’ve done this with large and extra large eggs. The rubbery texture might be from the coconut milk you’re using if you have one with a lot of guar gum in it.
Paleo Mum says
Thanks for coming back to me, I really appreciate it. I’ve checked he ingredients of the coconut milk and there’s no guar gum in it at all. Just coconut extract, water and citric acid. It’s a mystery! 🙂
thefateoftomatoes says
Can you use tapioca in place of arrowroot flour?
Christina Feindel says
Yes. – Christina, Sarah’s assistant
Janelle says
I LOVE This recipe. I just wanted to pass on that the last time I made it I didn’t have any coconut milk, so I shredded about two cups of apple and used that instead. It worked amazingly well and turned into delicious apple cinnamon breakfast squares.
Ivania says
This didn’t work out for me either. So bummed since I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time and finally got all the ingredients together.
Dominique says
Hi I’m from the UK I don’t have coconut flour, I have desiccated coconut or almond flour, would either of those work?
Christina Feindel says
Coconut flour is very difficult to replace in recipes. You may want to consider purchasing it online. You can read about other Paleo flour substitutions here: https://www.thepaleomom.com/2012/11/the-science-and-art-of-paleofying-part-1-paleo-flours.html – Christina, Sarah’s assistant
Mo says
Holland and Barrett sells Tiana coconut flour.
Crystal B says
Wax paper in the oven? I would have that parchment paper since wax paper can burn in an oven. The recipe sounds great and I have all the ingredients think I will try this soon 🙂
Eva says
I have used wax paper for jelly rolls for years. This is a form of jelly roll. I use regular brown paper bags dipped in butter for Xmas cakes, if the wax paper is burning in your oven at 350F for under an hour, I suggest that your oven needs someone to look at it.
Michelle Short says
Mine came out just okay. It was a bit rubbery for me too and there is a layer or egg or something rubbery on the bottom of the bread.
Sue says
Why is it nut free when it’s made with cocoNUT flour?
Christina Feindel says
Coconut is not classified as a tree nut and allergies to it are different than nut allergies. – Christina, Sarah’s assistant
Rebecca says
The coconut is actually a large seed known as a drupe, not a nut, even though the word “nut” is in its name – go figure 🙂
Kelly says
Made this for my kids this morning and they loved it! Thanks for the great recipe!!
Amy says
I also love this recipe, but again it looks nothing like your picture. Mine seems to separate into two layers with the bottom one rubbery. Is there a trick to how you mixed/folded the ingredients together?
Christina Feindel says
Getting the egg whites just right and mixing the coconut flour thoroughly should prevent that. – Christina, Sarah’s assistant
Jana says
How many servings does this make and hoe many net carbs are there per serving?
Christina Feindel says
About 8 servings. You can generate your own estimate at cronometer.com. – Christina, Sarah’s assistant
Brandy says
I would like to take it to the next level and brown the pieces in a skillet! I’m not full on Paleo just GF, not sure if ghee is allowed but that would be heaven!
Tracy says
I don’t have arrowroot powder, would I be able to substitute this for something else?
Sarah says
Tapioca starch/flour makes a good replacement in my experience 🙂
Christina Feindel says
Tapioca starch is a good arrowroot sub. – Christina, Sarah’s assistant
Brittany says
How much does this make?
Christina Feindel says
About 8 servings. – Christina, Sarah’s assistant
Leah Kaiser says
Made this this morning and it was very good. I did have the “two layers” that other readers have mentioned…though I suspect I did not mix it quite well enough. I think it would be really yummy with chopped apples mixed in but I wonder if they would be too “heavy” for the recipe. Do you think that would work? Just curious. Thanks for a delicious breakfast!
PS: We got about 4 servings out of this because my 3 children ate the WHOLE PAN! 🙂 Next time I guess I will have to make more!
Christina Feindel says
I think shredded or finely-diced apples would be fine. – Christina, Sarah’s assistant
jo says
I made this for breakfast and then at lunch cut a slice in half to use as bread. I used daiya dairy free cheese and a pannini maker for a delicious grilled cheese sandwich. 2 hours later I checked and am still in mod ketosis. It was heavenly to feel like I ate bread and it didn’t pull me out of ketosis! Thank you!
Maryjane Engelhart says
Turned out great for me! Thank you!
I’m wondering if parchment paper would work, or just greasing the pan. I hate leaving so much of the batter stuck to the waxed paper.
Christina Feindel says
I grease the pan without any problems. – Christina, Sarah’s assistant
Karl Diaz says
Love it came out exact. I didn’t have wax paper or a 9x13pan so I greased a 9×9 Pyrex pan with coconut oil and used a fish spatula to pop it out. The edge were messy but the kids didn’t care.
Susan713 says
Delicious! I used a glass pan (reduced oven temp by 25 degrees) greased with palm oil, no wax paper.
Today I made a variation – left out cinnamon, added 1 tablespoon vanilla. Sprinkled 1 cup blueberries (previously frozen then thawed in fridge overnight) on top of the batter before baking.
I’ve been whisking together all the ingredients except the egg whites and letting them sit while the egg whites whip to stiff peaks because I heard a radio program that said the gf flours need more time to absorb moisture. That seems to work really well.
I’m going to try some other fruit/spice combinations
Anyone know how long these will keep in the fridge and do they freeze well?
Christina Feindel says
They should keep about 4 days in the fridge and do freeze well. – Christina, Sarah’s assistant
Kat says
Made this today as written, and had a similar experience to others: rubbery, eggy bottom. The very top of the bread looked like your photo, but about 3/4 was rubbery. They’re still edible, but not quite what I was envisioning. Could it be over baking? I used a 9×9 Pyrex, and had to add 10 minutes, since at the 18 minute mark the inside batter was still very liquid and not “spongy.” Could you maybe ask a friend to test out your recipes? I feel there are still many technical issues that prevent these recipes from being consistent. It’s frustrating, since these ingredients aren’t cheap!
ThePaleoMom says
It’s probably your coconut flour. I had the same problem once when I made it with homemade coconut flour that wasn’t as finely ground as what I normally buy. You can compensate by adding a bit more.
Jen says
What does sifting the flour do?
Christina Feindel says
Sifting breaks up clumps and adds air for a lighter texture. – Christina, Sarah’s assistant
Chris Conley Stephan says
I made this today and it was really good. I only used 1 Tbl. of cinnamon. Next time I’ll use the full 1-1/2 Tbl. Would also be good with some pumpkin in it.
Heather says
This was sooo delicious. My daughter put it in her mouth without hesitation, and kept going! She even has a summer cold right now, so she eats far less than usual. Thanks!
BrieAnna says
Can I substitute almond flour for arrowroot flour?
Christina Feindel says
No. Kuzu or tapioca starch may work, but the recipe will be best as-written. – Christina, Sarah’s assistant
Sharon says
I’ve made this twice now both times it came out perfect. The first time I needed it to travel so baked in waxed little baking pans so reduced baking time to 16 min. They came right out of the pans. The second time did the large pan and waxed paper. It stuck to the waxed paper so might try parchment or no liner next time because there will be lots of next times!
Kristin says
I really wish you would take the time to go in and edit all your recipes that suggest baking with WAX PAPER (which is toxic to eat after it melts into your food) to read PARCHMENT PAPER. I ruined a great (not to mention expensive recipe because I noticed how consistently you use this and just took your word for it as it is so prevalent and you published a cook book which I am now reluctant to buy because there is a HUGE difference between WAX paper and Parchment.
That and the frequently occurring and consistent grammatical errors that keep getting re-posted have started to turn me away from the blog and the web site. Sad… attention to detail is so important.
Coralyn says
We love this recipie, I’ve made it quite a few times (even for breakfast guests) and it’s always gobbled up, today I converted it to making in my Thermomix, and it’s gone from being a bit fidderly and time consuming to being a quick easy job. Thankyou so much xxx (would it be ok if I put the Tmx version up on the Recipie community site, with full reference is: Adapted from thepaleomom.com)
Celeste says
Ours separated into two layers – top crumbly and airy, bottom dense almost like custard. We also had to bake it MUCH longer than the recipe stated, as it was so soupy, jiggly, and then mushy each time we tried to take it out. We are in Florida if that makes a difference due to humidity, and we baked it in a glass pan. The only direction from the recipe we altered was that we misread and folded the egg whites into the yolk mixture instead of pouring the yolk mixture into the whites, but since we made sure it was fully combined before pouring it into the dish, I can’t imagine that to be the cause – is it?
Here are two links to what it looks like (out of pan and then in-pan): https://www.dropbox.com/s/ikkyzco5ppn7peo/PaleoMom_CinnFrToast-5290.jpg?dl=0

Hilary says
I made this tonight and it turned out great! After baking for 20 minutes, I let sit and turned over and discovered the middle was totally uncooked. I cooked for 5 more minutes. I made 5/8 recipe (because I only had 5 eggs) and so estimated with the measurements and it still turned out well. It is very lightly sweetened. My picky 12 year old daughter even likes it! It DOES has the taste and texture of real French toast! This is a great recipe!
