Deceptively Delicious French Toast
I got this recipe out of the Deceptively Delicious cookbook and tested it on my daughter this weekend. She loved it, and so did I!!
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons banana or pineapple or sweet potato or carrot or butternut squash puree, or canned pumpkin (I used canned pumpkin)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
whole wheat bread
nonstick cooking spray
2 teaspoons margarine spread
pure 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 braed 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 brown on the outside, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve warm with syrup, confectioners' sugar, or fruit.
