Whole Wheat French Toast

We love breakfast foods. If we could get away with eating them for every meal, everyday, we could go for a very very very long time before getting bored with it. This is a more "whole" food version of my standard french toast. And it is yummy, to boot. WIN WIN!

Ingredients:

• 3 Eggs
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1/2 tbs vanilla extract
• 2 tbs flax meal
• 3/4 tbs cinnamon
• 6 slices Whole Wheat Bread (I used Arnold's), cut in half

Preheat griddle or skillet over medium heat, spray with pan spray. Combine all ingredients, except for bread, in a mixing bowl. Dip the bread slices in the egg mix and cook til golden brown on both sides. Serve and enjoy!

YUM!
I have made a few newer variations of this and have taken it to work to let co-workers try it. I was told that it has a "bread pudding-ish" consistency, so I am working on new recipes to add some oats to absord some moisture. I do believe you can bake it for a bit longer and that will help as well. Everyone that tried it, liked it :)

Preheat oven to 400. Remove plastic wrap and bake for approximately 20 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy.

Each slice comes out to be 2 Points+ (additional Points+ for syrup or other add-ons!)
Ed and I both liked this and I think there are many other variations/flavor combinations out there. You can slim it down some, using different breads, eggs and milk, but as per the norm, I was using what I had on hand that was cheap!

"Stuffed French Toast"

*insert words here* :D


Ingredients
2 oz strawberries, stemmed, diced and rinsed
2 slices light wheat bread
1/4 cup ricotta
sprinkle cinnamon
a few drops vanilla flavoring

Preheat your sandwich griller/snack master/ etc

mix the ingredients, other then the bread together. Smear on one slice of bread, top with the other. Toast til done!


Viola!
I think an egg dipped version would be good, but this suffices as a quick breakfast/lunch

**NOTE** If you are using a press sandwich grill, you will

need to reduce the filling amount or it will make a mess :)

I love my SuperSnacker since it has "wells" on either side

so you can get all of your yummy goodness in sandwiches :)

5 Points+ for the sandwich

Banana Cinnamon French Toast

My facebook buddies know how to get my attention! :) I saw this posted on a friends page and I knew immediately that I wanted to make it. Jen said something about it sticking...and I figured, well lets just make it on the griddle, so that is what I did. Now don't flip out when you see some of the amounts! This is intended to be a make now, freeze and eat later sort of thing. Or I guess you could have a party!

original recipe found at Once A  Month Moms

30 slices light wheat bread

1 small carton egg beaters egg whites (10 serving container)

1 1/3 cup milk ( I used 2/3 cup coconut milk and 2/3 cup skim)

1/3 cup sugar (yes regular WHITE sugar! :) )

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/2 tablespoon almond extract
1tablespoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup smushed bananas 

Mix all of the ingredients together, minus the sliced bread, stir until well combined.

Preheat griddle to medium heat. Spray griddle with cooking spray. Dip bread slices, once at a time in the mix and place on griddle (my griddle fit 6 pieces of bread per batch). Be sure to stir the coating between batches as the banana will settle!

Cook for about 2-4 minutes on each side? ( I didnt time it...but cook it  like you normally would french toast?) Repeat until all bread is dipped and cooked.

Serve immediately or place on cooling racks to cool if you plan on freezing any. 

For Freezing, cool completely and then place on a baking sheet in the freezer. Once frozen place in freezer storage bags. To reheat: cook for about 30-45 seconds in the microwave.

1 piece of this delicious yumminess is 2 Points Plus

or 2 pieces is 3 PPV. I think I will have 2!
