Blueberry Pecan Low Carb French Toast is perfect for those mornings that eggs and bacon just won’t cut it! The best thing is this french toast is made in the microwave so in less than two minutes you have a swoon worthy breakfast that is low carb, keto friendly and gluten free! Perfect for busy weekday mornings!
I have to admit, Maddie is the one responsible for this recipe! She has been toying with microwave recipes for quite a while now because even though she loves to cook and bake, for awhile she was unsure of using the oven. Inspired by all the popular microwave cakes and muffins, she came up with this Pecan Blueberry Low Carb French Toast shortly after she joined me on my low carb/keto journey and it’s been a breakfast staple ever since! While she loves eggs and savory style breakfasts, she also loves having the option of pancakes, waffles and now “french toast” in the mornings!
These days Maddie is all about using the entire kitchen to experiment! We are still working on the “cleaning up after yourself” part of cooking. I guess we are all a work in progress!
On Sundays, we typically made a big batch of bacon or sausage to keep in the fridge for the upcoming week. Often the Cowboy gets up at daylight to get out on the tractor, so I love having some grab and go options in the morning for him! It also cuts down on breakfast time for everyone else! So, Maddie can quickly whip up her Blueberry Pecan French Toast, grab a few pieces of bacon and VIOLA…breakfast in under five minutes!
French toast was one of my favorite breakfasts growing up and this Pecan Blueberry Low Carb French Toast…while not “French toast” in the traditional sense…really hits all the notes of French toast for me! The texture of the pecans, hint of cinnamon and the burst of sweet blueberries makes this quick and easy breakfast a showstopper! Topped with sugar free maple syrup or a drizzle of almond butter…DELISH!
