HI! At my house we always have pancakes or waffles for breakfast on the weekends. But I wanted to try something new! I've seen French toast been made many ways, but they are very unhealthy in most recipes. I'm a little bit of a health nut so I put my own spin on the traditional eggs and buttermilk drenched then fried bread. These ones definitely can replace any full fat variety! Not to mention they really fill you up!
And guess what? I don't like regular French toast, but these ones make me even want to eat them!
Healthy French Toast
4 servings, 2 pieces each.
2/3 cups of egg whites (2 large eggs)
2/3 cups skim milk or low fat milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (You can add more if you like...)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
8 slices of whole grain bread
In a bowl large enough to dip bread in, whisk together egg whites and milk. Whisk in vanilla and cinnamon. Set aside
Heat a non stick skillet on medium heat, spray pan with a non stick spray. Or add a little butter or margarine (but try to avoid this to keep the "healthy" vibe going)
You may need to whisk the cinnamon mixture before dipping... it tends to float around.
Dip the bread, coating both sides and place in the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes, being careful not to burn. Flip and cook and additional 2 minutes, until both sides are golden brown.
Serve warm with pure maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
OR
Top with this strawberry blueberry compote (that I tend to put on everything)
1 cups each thawed or fresh blueberries and strawberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar.
1 tbsp orange - flavoured liqueur or orange juice.
2 tablespoons orange juice.
1 tsp cornstarch.
In a saucepan, combine blueberries, strawberries, granulated sugar and liqueur or orange juice.
In a small bowl, mix orange juice with cornstarch;
add to saucepan and cook over medium - low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about five minutes.
(Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours. Rewarm to serve)
ENJOY!!! My dad loves this
