About this Elderberry Pecan French Toast Bake:

Low Carb and Gluten Free Bread!

For this recipe I simply used Carbonaut, white bread; but wait! This bread is low carb and 100% plant-based... how cool is that? Each slice has only 1 grams of net carbs and 9 grams of total carbs. I'm obsessed. Their bread is also available on selected Sprouts and Target!

Keto certified too! That means a lot to me and this is why. For a product be keto certified needs to have specific standards. It's has 1g net carbs, it can't contain hydrogenated oils, artificial ingredients, no maltitol or other artificial sweeteners. They actually have a full page on the ingredients allowed and not allowed. Check them here!

You can recreate your personal comfort foods while still keeping them low carb and plant diet. Just like this french toast casserole recipe! Easy to make, comforting, moist, flavor and with all the amazing textures.

As a nutritionist I admire the impact of low carb diets on our bodies! From reducing inflammation to the control of hormones.

Low Carb Sweet Goodness

A low carb diet has shown to have amazing benefits on hormonal balance and to also avoid sugar crashes... and prevent some oxidation that at the long run causes other health issues. And as a nutritionist I know that it's always good to have options, the brea used in this recipe is just perfect!

From reducing inflammation to controlling insulin levels, ghrelin (hunger hormone) to better and staple energy labels, no crash or hangry feelings. And having these alternatives in the market just makes everything easier and delicious!

This recipe is all about that! And nutrient dense foods. A comforting low carb and tasty recipe that will keep insulin levels at bay and nourish your body! All the vitamins from the ingredients here; pecans, organic eggs, unsweetened almond milk and even the blueberries... healthy and indulgent!

Flaxseeds are great egg replacements, both work like a sort of glue.
