SunButter Stuffed French Toast

SunButter Stuffed French Toast made with creamy SunButter and your favorite jam. Top with fresh berries and maple syrup!      

Lately, it feels like yoga keeps finding its way back to me in new forms.

I’m now teaching three yoga classes every week, and every time I share my sequence and intention with students I feel full. 

I’m also about to lead a workshop in June that combines two of my favorite things…food and asana!

Together we’ll move on the mat and then make a simple seasonal recipe together afterward.

I also recently started strength training with a personal trainer and have been discovering a different kind of empowerment through lifting heavy things.

The first time I squatted 70 pounds I felt unbelievably strong and capable in a way that surprised me.

I just lifted…THAT?! 

I think all of this has me craving community and growth lately, which is why it’s feeling bittersweet to near the end of my 300 hr yoga teacher training program.

Even so, I know this isn’t really an ending, it’s just another invitation to keep learning, studying, and finding myself in the right rooms with the right people.

Meanwhile, summer seems to have arrived overnight here in Maryland, and after temperatures nearly hit 100 degrees this week, I’m not sure I’m fully ready for it!

So for now, I’m leaning into slow mornings, cozy brunch, and recipes like this SunButter Stuffed French Toast.

This SunButter Stuffed French is made with creamy SunButter and topped with a bright summer berries for the ultimate spring brunch moment.

What You Need to Make SunButter Stuffed French Toast 

Here’s what you need to make this French Toast:

• Ground flaxseed
• Cornstarch
• Unsweetened almond milk
• Maple syrup
• Cinnamon
• Sourdough bread, lightly toasted
• Vegan butter
• SunButter
• Berry Chia Jam
• Optional maple syrup

That’s it!

How to Make SunButter Stuffed French Toast 

Start by lightly toasting your sourdough bread.

This step helps the bread hold up to the batter and filling while creating the perfect texture for stuffed French toast.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flaxseed and cornstarch.

Slowly add the almond milk while whisking to avoid clumps.

Stir in the maple syrup and cinnamon and let the mixture sit for a few minutes to thicken.

Spread SunButter onto half of the toasted bread slices and the berry jam on the other pieces of bread.

Press the slices together to create sandwiches.

Dip each sandwich into the batter and allow it to soak for about 10–15 seconds per side.

The bread should absorb some batter while still holding its shape.

Heat a skillet over medium to medium-low heat and add vegan butter.

Cook the stuffed French toast for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside while warmed through in the center.

Serve immediately with fresh berries, maple syrup, and an extra drizzle of SunButter.

SunButter 

I love using SunButter in recipes like this because it adds creamy richness while remaining completely nut-free and allergy-friendly.

The slightly roasted flavor pairs perfectly with fresh berries and warm cinnamon, making it ideal for spring-inspired breakfasts and brunches.

SunButter also melts beautifully inside the French toast filling, creating a soft and decadent center without needing dairy or traditional nut butters.

If you’re serving a crowd for brunch, using SunButter is an easy way to make a recipe that more guests can safely enjoy!

Swaps and Substitutions

This recipe is easy to customize based on what you have on hand.

Use gluten-free sourdough or your favorite gluten-free sandwich bread to keep the recipe fully gluten-free.

Strawberries or mixed berries work on top but you can also sub bananas or any fruit you have on hand.

You can also swap the almond milk for oat milk or soy milk if preferred.

For extra sweetness and texture, try adding sliced bananas inside the filling before cooking.

You can also switch up the flavor profile by using cardamom instead of cinnamon.

Try cooking the French toast in coconut oil instead of vegan butter for a slightly richer flavor.

Notes on Meal Prep

This is one of those meals that is arguably better fresh, but can be prepped in advance, too, with a few caveats. 

Leftover stuffed French toast reheats best in a skillet or toaster oven to maintain crisp edges and texture.

While you can microwave leftovers, the bread will soften a bit. 

You can also prepare the batter the night before and store it covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook.

How to Serve SunButter Stuffed French Toast 

Serve SunButter Stuffed French Toast warm with plenty of fresh berries and SunButter on top.

For a beautiful summer brunch spread, pair it with fresh fruit, coconut yogurt, coffee, matcha, or mimosas!

This recipe also works beautifully as part of a larger brunch board with granola, toast, pastries, and seasonal fruit.

The vibrant berries and golden French toast make it feel seasonal and special with very little extra effort.

Enjoy!
