Egg Free French Toast Recipes

If you need to avoid eggs in your baby's diet, these egg free French toast recipes make it possible for him to still enjoy this popular breakfast treat!

Eggless French toast is ideal if your baby suffers from an egg allergy, or if he is less than one year of age, in which case he cannot be given egg white due to the risk of developing an allergy to eggs. These recipes are suitable for babies who are comfortably enjoying finger foods and any ingredients used in these recipes should have first been separately introduced to your baby following the four day rule. This is to ensure that none of the ingredients trigger allergic reactions or digestive problems - or, if they do - enable you to pinpoint the problem food.

Remember: Always discuss the introduction of any new foods with your child's doctor.

The simplest way to make egg free French toast is to replace each egg with 1tbsp cornstarch mixed into 2 tbsp water. However, the two recipes below offer far more nutritious alternatives for your baby...

pinch cinnamon
drop vanilla essence
whole-wheat bread

Place all the ingredients (except the bread) into a food processor and blend well.
