Deceptively Delicious French Toast
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp banana, pineapple, sweet potato, carrot or butternut squash puree, or canned pumpkin
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 4 slices whole wheat bread
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 tsp margarine or butter
- Maple syrup, confectioners’ sugar, or fresh fruit, for serving
- Flaxseed meal (optional)
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, puree, and cinnamon. Add the bread slices and turn them in the mixture to soak for 30 seconds to 1 minute (any longer and the bread will get soggy).
Coat a nonstick griddle or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set it over medium high heat. When the pan is hot, add the margarine. When the margarine sizzles, add the soaked bread slices (sprinkle with flaxseed if you like) and cook until golden on the outside, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve warm with syrup, confectioners’ sugar, or fruit.
