Slow weekend mornings call for a tasty breakfast and definitely extra cups of coffee. Or one that you top off multiple times to reheat if you’re anything like me 🙋♀️
Disclaimer: the only reason I wouldn’t have this breakfast during the week is because I don’t have enough time, not because you can only have French toast, or any other foods you want, on the weekend! All foods can fit into a healthy diet
This Cinnamon Roll French toast is one of my favorite breakfasts to make when I have more time in the morning. Growing up, we always got to choose our birthday breakfast and I always chose French toast! I still love it and this French toast is even tastier than the regular kind.
Ingredients: (Serves 2-4)
For the French Toast:
1/2 cup egg whites
1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 slices of whole grain bread
For cinnamon sugar:
2 tablespoons sugar (can sub stevia, but the real stuff is better)
1 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
For the cream cheese glaze:
2 tablespoons reduced fat cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons almond milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Heat large skillet to medium heat.
2. Mix cinnamon sugar ingredients in a shallow bowl; set aside.
3. Mix cream cheese glaze ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
4. Mix together egg whites, milk, and vanilla in a shallow bowl. Dip bread into mixture, then place in skillet. Cook about 3 minutes or until golden brown, flip and cook until golden brown.
5. Remove from skillet; sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Drizzle with cream cheese glaze, serve immediately.
I like to serve it with scrambled eggs and/or bacon since I love a sweet and salty combo!
