Cinnamon French Toast

Oh my heaven's, it's delicious!

Sometimes I contemplate not going to work on Saturday mornings so I could get the limitless French Toast at our local bakery shop. Kneaders. Sound familiar? Everything in that place is so point heavy, that I would just have accept the negatives by just smelling the place.

And really? It's okay to do that sometimes.

But for all the other days when that French Toast craving kicks in...which I've never really LIKED French Toast...never really had a desire for it, other than when we swing into Kneader's on a blue moon...I've found a super smartpoint friendly version that I have made multiple times over already! The beautiful thing about it? You can totally change it up with the fruit you dress it with, according to your desires. It's so simple, but so delicious!


Protein French Toast (7sp for the whole dish)
2 slices Ezekiel 4:9 Bread, Low Sodium*
1 egg
1 T Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk
Dash of cinnamon
1/4 c 1% cottage cheese
1 cup fruit of choice
2 T sugar free syrup

Mix egg, almond milk, and cinnamon in bowl. Coat slices of bread with egg mixture and cook in pan to desired texture. Top french toast slices with 1/4 c cottage cheese, berries, and syrup.

Indulge.

Cottage cheese on top of french toast? You're kidding right? No. Seriously. It's the best breakfast I've had. If I'm not making my Cinnamon Apple Muesli with the greek yogurt and oats, I'm eating this baby! It's so quick and easy to make, yet so wonderful to eat! And your imagination/hunger is the limit! Put any type of fruit on top! It is SURE to please. Best thing, you don't feel heavy afterwards. The salty of the cottage cheese, and the sweet of the maple syrup...I've seriously contemplated having this meal multiple times a day. It's a great treat, with no guilt or yucky-tummy-ness attached.




So delicious.
Enjoy!

*I've had a couple people ask where I get the bread. I have found it at Sprouts and Smith's in the refrigerated health food section of the stores, toward the bottom shelf. At Trader Joe's they also have it unrefrigerated. My go-to place is Smiths! M&M has also tried this recipe with the Sarah Lee Delightful 45 calorie bread which shaves off 2 smartpoints. I still like the Ezekiel because the bread is so hearty and filling and quite good for you! It's all personal preference!
