Matcha Stuffed French Toast

I have been getting quite crafty during this quarantine time experimenting with matcha and our granola. We decided to take it to the next level and create something “out of the box” of what we normally do.

Using Mizuba’s matcha green tea powder, we experimented and produced this vegan gluten-free matcha stuffed crunchy french toast that is to die for! Yes, we know the title is long. No, we don’t care because it’s worth it.

We also used the farmhouse bread from New Cascadia Traditional which is another local product here in Portland, OR. This bread reminds me more of sourdough and can be paired well with sweeter dishes to cut the sugar taste down.

Get ready for a mouth savoring explosion people!
