French toast is one of those foods that I LOVE but rarely eat. The reason being, when I know if I have a sweet treat for breakfast, I will likely need a nap and be pretty much useless for the day. When I do have it, I make sure I balance it with some eggs, so the sugar doesn’t hit my system so drastically! There is so much to say about a balanced plate!!
So, Kevin came up with this lovely idea for french toast that doesn’t leave me down and out for the rest of day. He was like, what if we use the ingredients we usually use for breakfast and make it into french toast…? Brilliant!!
This french toast is made of our normal whole wheat bread, sweetened with yogurt, berries, banana and peanut butter AND has no added sugars!! If you are looking for a fun a different breakfast to have that keeps you on track with your goals, try this recipe out!!
Everyday French Toast
Ingredients:
Whole wheat bread (5 pieces)
4 eggs, whisked
1/4 cup milk
a splash of vanilla
1/2-1 tsp cinnamon
Dash of cloves and allspice
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup frozen berries
1 banana
How to:
Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice and cloves in a flat dish.
Heat a skillet. Soak 1-2 pieces of bread in the egg mixture. Flip so that the full toast is soggy.
Place in the skillet and cook 3-5 minutes on each side, or until toasted and egg is cooked.
Continue steps 2 and 3 until all the pieces are cooked.
Meanwhile, stick the frozen berries in the microwave to 20-30 seconds. Mash with banana. Then mix in yogurt and peanut butter. Mix in more cinnamon if desired!
Top french toast with berry mixture and ENJOY!!!
