AHHHHHHHHHHH! Is it breakfast or dessert? This decadent morning-meal recipe is
SO easy and ridiculously delicious. PLEASE make it ASAP. You'll FLIP!
Ingredients:
8 slices light bread (40 - 45 calories each with around 2g fiber per slice),
cut into cubes
4 oz. fat-free cream cheese, room temperature
1 medium apple (preferably Fuji), peeled and diced
1 1/4 cups light vanilla soymilk
1 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like
Egg Beaters Ori ginal)
2 tbsp. sugar-free pancake syrup
2 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like
Brummel & Brown
), melted
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 no-calorie sweetener packet (like Splenda), or more to taste
Optional: additional sugar-free pancake syrup, for dipping
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Place bread cubes
evenly along the bottom of the dish.
Sprinkle diced apple evenly over the bread.
In a medium-large bowl, combine all other ingredients (cream cheese, soymilk,
egg substitute, syrup, butter, cinnamon, and sweetener). If you like your
French toast pretty sweet, add an extra packet of sweetener. Using a handheld
electric mixer set to medium speed, mix until lump-free and smooth. Pour
mixture over the bread and apple.
Make sure bread is soaked in the liquid mixture. If needed, toss lightly to
coat.
Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes, until egg mixture is pretty firm and
cooked through. (Be sure not to overcook, as bread may burn.) Let cool slightly
and cut into quarters. If you like, serve with additional syrup for dipping.
Dig in!
MAKES 4 SERVINGS
HG Tip! Make this at night, store it covered in the fridge, and then reheat 'n
eat in the morning...
