Healthy French Toast?
I must be out of my mind. Right?
No! I actually feel pretty good about making this.
I've been getting up earlier in the morning to make breakfast for a few different reasons, one of them being it's one of my favorite meals. I'm not going to get up an hour earlier though to make breakfast, so the meals I make in the morning have to be fairly fast.
This was a fairly fast breakfast to make.
I even cleaned all the dishes before I got dressed.
Ingredients
- 3 large egg whites
- 3/4 cups milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Salt
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 8 slices firm whole wheat bread
- Maple syrup (optional)
- Fresh blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries (optional)
Directions
- In bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until blended.
- In 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 teaspoon coconut oil on medium.
- Dip bread slices, 1 at a time, in egg mixture, pressing bread lightly to coat both sides well. Cook 1 to 2 slices (whatever fits in/on your skillet) 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned on both sides.
- Serve French toast with maple syrup and berries if you like.
If you look at the recipe on the Delish website, you can see that I made a few changes.
I'm trying to cook more with coconut oil rather than olive oil, vegetable oil, or butter. That's only a preference though, you can use what you like.
Also, I have no reason to use 2 eggs and 1 egg white, I believe that is for dietary reasons (right?). I used all 3 eggs for this recipe. I may have (I don't remember) used 4 eggs. This batch made exactly 4 pieces of french toast though. Perfect for a fast breakfast.
