What a great way to wake up in the morning! When you feel like a big satisfying hearty breakfast, try this succulent French toast with the classic combo of nuts and bananas. The bread has no refined grains to pack on the pounds, and the topping has none of the refined sugars, but is just as yummy and loaded with protein to satisfy your hunger. The banana is a perfect way to get your potassium in the morning and its creamy texture is a great contrast with the crunchy Ezekiel bread.
Ingredients
4 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 slice sprouted grain Ezekiel bread
3 No Size omega-3 eggs beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup freshly ground almond butter
1 tablespoon honey
2-3 tablespoon water
3 medium bananas
Instructions
Combine the almond butter and honey and mix well. Add enough water to make it a thick syrup-like consistency.
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, cinnamon and nutmeg and whisk.
Heat a large saute pan on medium heat. Add the butter to the pan and dip three pieces of the bread into the egg mixture. Make sure to cover both sides of the bread thoroughly.
Cook the French toast for 3-4 minutes on each side or until dark and crispy.
Repeat with the remaining bread.
Cut the french toast in half diagonally and layer three slices with the almond butter and bananas in between.
TIPS AND NOTES:
To make a creamy topping, mix a 1/4 cup of plain yogurt with the almond butter or mash in a banana. Experiment with other Ezekiel breads like the Bran, Whole Grain or even Cinnamon Raisin. For a gluten-free version try the Food for Life rice breads.
