This easy healthy French toast recipe is made with egg whites and sprouted grain bread for a delicious protein-packed breakfast.
French toast is one of my favorite breakfast foods. If I had to make the perfect french toast recipe, it would be made with thick slices of fresh challah bread soaked in whole eggs with a touch of real maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon. However, that doesn’t always fit into my “fit food” lifestyle. I’ve come to love this healthy French toast version and save my beloved challah french toast for a special occasion.
This French toast recipe provides extra protein and good, whole grain, carbs for a filling and delicious breakfast meal. Top with your favorite berries for an added nutrition boost.
I buy frozen wild blueberries and thaw individual portions in the microwave. I love the taste and smaller size of the wild berries and you never have to worry about them going bad, like fresh produce. If you haven’t tried homemade blueberry compote before, it’s absolutely amazing as a substitute for syrup!
How To Make Healthy Sprouted Grain French Toast
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 slices sprouted grain toast (I often use Ezekiel bread)
- 4 egg whites
- 1-2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup frozen wild blueberries, thawed
- olive oil cooking spray (I also use grapeseed and avocado oil spray)
Directions:
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk egg whites, cinnamon, vanilla, and milk in a shallow bowl until blended. Dip bread, one piece at a time, in the egg mixture and coat both sides. Make sure both sides are coated and all of the egg mixture has soaked into the bread. Spray pan with cooking spray and cook until lightly golden on both sides. Serve with berries and your favorite syrup. I love Walden Farms sugar-free maple syrup and, of course, real maple syrup on occasion.
