Muffin Tin Blueberry French Toast {vegan, gluten-free}

I hope all of you will forgive me, but sometimes a weekend post needs to be short and sweet. Children and partners need attention, meals must be delivered at church, weeds require plucking, laundry awaits washing and folding, and a British mystery that needs reading is threatening to put everything on hold.

But we all need to eat, so allow me to share what was on the menu at chez powerhungry: individual French toast pucks, sweetened with maple syrup, loaded with summer blueberries, and finally dusted with powdered sugar.

Chickpea flour and psyllium do their thing as a a great egg substitute, binding these gently sweet treats into perfect portability. You can sit down and eat these with a fork, head out the door to conquer  your Saturday to-do list, or get around to that book while you nibble away.

Use this as a recipe, subbing different summer fruits all summer long. Now, on to that chore list of my own chapter 7 of my mystery!
