I love making French toast on Easter morning!✨🐇

This thick cut, gluten free bread 🍞 works well to soak up the delicious combination of flavors 🤤. This recipe combines caramelized orange 🍊 & cardamom that will definitely impress whoever is lucky enough to eat it!

Cinnamon & cardamom are two of my favorite 🤍 spices. Cinnamon has been shown to help slow🐢 the breakdown of carbs🍞 and even reduce inflammation in the gut!!🤯

Cardamom is actually in the same family ✨as ginger, and has been shown to protect the stomach from ulcers‼️

It’s so amazing when delicious ingredients are also good for your health😍
