Healthy Recipes recommends this tasty, low-fat dish with calorie-reduced syrup and cinnamon for part of your healthy living diet. If you wish to, you may remove some of the yolk to cut cholesterol when making the egg mixture to dip the French toast in. What I love about this recipe is it can be used for breakfast or brunch and the calorie count is low 175 per slice.
Add fresh fruits of your choice and enjoy this light meal.
INGREDIENTS:
Use one large egg and two egg whites.
1/4 cup skim milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 ground nutmeg
Calorie-reduced Maple Syrup optional
FOLLOW ME:
Using a shallow bowl, whist the egg and egg whites until foamy.

Feature serving this healthy recipe at breakfast or brunch. I almost always use whole wheat bread – I must admit, it looks classier to use white French Toast Bread, but, nutrition comes firsts for me and all of us at Healthy Recipes! So, let me show you how it make it.
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 to 3/4 cup 1% milk
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp (real) vanilla
4 fresh, organic eggs
Dash of icing sugar (use very little)
8 slices French Toast Bread or Whole Wheat Bread.
FOLLOW ME:
Blend all ingredients (with the exception of the icing sugar), in your blender, until just mixed.
Pour above mixture into a medium large bowl in order to dip bread easily.
I use my handy griddle for making my French Toast at about 325F degrees.
Dip bread into large bowl making certain both sides are covered. Place on griddle in groups of 4 – 6. Turn French Toast over to other side when bottom is golden brown.
When toast is completed, dust it gently with a tiny bit of icing sugar, just to give it a fancy look!
This is a favorite breakfast recipe, and a brunch favorite as well. French toast may be served with breakfast sausages, as long as they are lean and all the fat has been sqeezed out of the sausages after cooking.
Enjoy yourself – this is even a favorite for dinner in a pinch!
