Happy spring! However, spring here in Montana usually looks like winter especially when you wake up to 6 inches of snow in the middle of April! Whatever the season, there's one bread that is always good no matter what... Great Harvest Cinnamon Chip! Some bakeries may call this Cinnamon Burst, but whatever the name, you are bound to love it. The all-time favorite way to eat Cinnamon Chip is to use it for French Toast. (Sure it is good to pop into the toaster and slather it with butter too.)

This is one of my favorite recipes. Go ahead and give it a try!

Ingredients:
1 loaf of Great Harvest Cinnamon Chip bread (pre-sliced approx. 15 slices or hand slice approx. 10)
3 large eggs
1 c. half and half
2 Tbsp. honey (you can warm this up to make it easier to incorporate)
1 tsp. vanilla
4 Tbsp. butter (for skillet)


Whisk together eggs, half and half, honey, and vanilla in a bowl. Heat skillet over medium heat. Add butter 1 Tbsp. at a time as needed. Quickly dunk slices of bread in batter until they are just coated. Cook on both sides until golden brown. Serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or butter and peach jam. Yum!

We'd love to hear how you like to eat your Cinnamon Chip bread...please do tell!

Hello, 
 
 
 
I'm not sure where in Georgia you have moved to, but both the Smyrna Great Harvest (770.431.9743) and Duluth Great Harvest (770.622.0222) bake some gluten free breads. The Rome Great Harvest (706.235.1662) does a basic gluten free as well. Our bakeries have varied bread schedules so I would recommend that you call the bakery nearest you and see what they have to offer on a daily basis. Thanks for checking out our blog and we hope you love Great Harvest as much as we do!

Can anyone tell me if the soon to be opened bakery in north Charlotte will be offering a Gluten Free Bread? How big a loaf and what will the cost be.

Hi Bill, 
 
 
 
This location is in the beginning stages of construction so I am hesitant to give a target opening date as of yet. However, hopefully they will be open within the next 3 to 4 months. 
 
 
 
Because Great Harvest is primarily a whole grains bakery, the owner/operator of this location will be focusing on our core breads at opening. This is not to say, however, that at some point gluten free wouldn't be an additional product offering. 
 
 
 
Have you checked with the other Charlotte Great Harvest location at 901 King's Drive? They offer some gluten free breads. The phone number there is 704.333.0431. I'd recommend that you call for loaf size and pricing as it varies throughout the country. 
 
 
 
Thank you for your interest in Great Harvest bread!
