I spent a lot of time trying to find a french toast recipe without butter. Just the thought of butter gives me a stomach ache these days. When I ate a few slices of apple pie this Thanksgiving, I nearly keeled over. Luckily, I came up with a healthy, butter-free alternative!
I’d also like to share an amazing site with you guys called My King Cook. They have a great post about how to make the perfect french toast. Make sure you check it out!
I’ve never been so satisfied after eating breakfast. This was the perfect breakfast after a morning workout. It’s packed full of protein and carbohydrates. I was so pleased to find out that it had a whopping 22 grams of protein. Whoa! How great is that?
I almost never pour maple syrup on my french toast, but after trying it after this photo shoot, I’m never going back. The maple syrup soaked into the bread and made it perfectly sweet and juicy. You know it’s good food when just the thought of it afterwards brings back amazingly delicious memories.
This mouth watering french toast is:
