When you think of French Toast, what comes to mind? For me, its the delicious albeit unhealthy breakfast that you have to sit over the stove to cook. So if you are cooking this for a crowd, you won’t get any time visiting with anyone. And depending on how you fry it, the calories can really add up fast.
So it’s time for a recipe renovation!!! We’re changing up how you cook French Toast, along with some of the ingredients to reduce calories and infuse flavor~!!! And the product of this is my Healthy, Baked Cinnamon Sugar French Toast!!! And it has become a staple in our home. I love that it packs more protein than standard pancakes, is super easy to make and super delicious! Definitely a winning combination!
Here’s the Finished Product
Now Let’s Get Started
First things first, preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Now on a large baking sheet, lined with tin foil and sprayed generously with Pam, lay out 8 slices of whole grain bread.
Time to get out your ingredients. You’ll need 1 (16 oz) container of Egg Substitute and some cinnamon sugar (you can make your own as we do. We use a ratio of 6 tsp of sugar to 1 tsp of cinnamon. But here you can also substitute a sugar substitute to reduce sugar and calories. Also this is to taste. You can use less sugar or sugar substitute depending on how sweet you like it)
Now pour the egg substitute over each slice of bread, making sure to coat all the slices generously.
Time to pour the cinnamon sugar over the bread. You can be as sparing or generous as you’d like, depending how cinnamon-y or sweet you’d like it! We like ours very cinnamon-y! So there’s no right or wrong answer here, its all to taste! Now its ready to go into a 425 degree oven for 15-17 minutes, depending on how crispy you’d like it!
After it comes out of the oven, this is what the finished product looks like! Its ready to cut and serve with your favorite toppings or syrup~!!! Very, very easy. And although this recipe makes enough for 4 people, its easily doubled for 8 people, if you’re having company. Or sized down for 2, or even just a single serving. This is such an easy, healthy, protein filled breakfast to make.
