Cut each slice of gluten-free bread into 3 long rectangles. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract until combined.
Dip the bread in the wet mixture and evenly coat the bread on both sides. Allow the bread to bathe in the mixture for a few minutes.
Heat the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Working in batches, place each stick into the hot skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
To serve, place all of the French toast sticks on a platter. Top with fresh blueberries and raspberries and provide small cups of maple syrup for dipping.
Notes
Bread: You can use any gluten-free bread you find. I recommend white or cinnamon raisin varieties. Canyon Bakehouse and Little Northern Bakehouse are two brands that I recommend.Toppings: You could also sprinkle the sticks with powdered sugar before serving. I recommend serving warm maple syrup on the side for dipping.Egg-Free Version: Swap the eggs for 1/2 cup applesauce + 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal and combine those ingredients with the other ingredients as directed in the recipe.Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free milk (soymilk, almondmilk, or cashewmilk) and vegan butter.
