Healthier Back-to-School French Toast

Ingredients

4 slices whole wheat French bread
3 egg whites
¾ cup 1% low fat milk
¼ teaspoon of cinnamon
½ cup fresh berries
powdered sugar
organic pure maple syrup

Instructions

Heat griddle or skillet to medium-high.
Beat the 3 egg whites, milk, and cinnamon until well blended and smooth.
Spray your hot pan with cooking spray to reduce the use of butter.
Soak bread in the mixture, place in pan and allow the bread to cook until brown on each side (about 5-7 minutes).
Serve with fresh fruit and just a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a bit of pure maple syrup.

Why thank ya, Ms. Amy Jo! It really is good and would have been even better if you let the bread sit out a bit to get firmer before soaking. You're welcome any time!

Yum to the yum. My french MIL adds a splash of vanilla to her batter and now so do I, in case you want to 'french up' your french toast.

We had french toast last week, made with real homemade whole wheat bread! It's a little heavier cause it absorbs more of the egg/milk mixture, but it's fantabulous and nutty!

Yum! I love French Toast, though I am more likely to have it as a breakfast for dinner than as a breakfast. ;)

This is awesome, but I have to put a plug in for using whole eggs. Eggs are good for you - yolks and all. I never eat egg whites or, gag, egg substitutes. Whole foods are always best! :-) *delicately steps off soapbox* French toast is one of our favorite healthy breakfasts too! :-)
