(Slightly) Healthy Stuffed French Toast

Good grief have I been neglectful or what?? It seems as though I had a million things going on all at the same time while last week was passing by. Now I look back and can say "well we bought curtains, but what the heck else did we do?!" Yeah it was one of those weeks. But let me tell you, the curtains we (I) spent a week picking out will have a joyous arrival!

I warn you now, this post has no pictures.. dun dun dun. Some days it just doesn't work like it is supposed to. This morning was a perfect example. It was just too early, the lighting wasn't amazing, the cat was trying to attack my plate... and then my breakfast was getting cold. I called it quits so I could eat my damn french toast before the fat cat could.

So here is a simple, quick, delicious, and semi-healthy stuffed french toast. I got the recipe from one of my favorite food blog books Carrots 'N' Cake, "Healthy living one carrot and cupcake at a time" by Tina Haupert. I definitely recommend the book if you are struggling with eating healthy but actually wanting to be satisfied at the end of the day.

What you need:

2 Eggs
2 Tablespoons almond milk
1/4 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 Teaspoon cinnamon
2 Tablespoons almond butter (can substitute for peanut butter, add bananas, the filling is entirely up to you)
4 Pieces thin sliced whole wheat bread

Here we go:

Combine eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a bowl. Whisk gently till combined.
Spread almond butter on two of the bread slices, and top with the naked two.
Dredge both "sandwiches" in the egg mixture.
Heat a non stick skillet or pan to a medium-high temp, and spray with cooking oil.
Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side.
When complete feel free to add toppings of your choosing. Go classic with just syrup, or add fresh fruit and whipped cream.
It's your breakfast so you do you boo boo.


Enjoy! And watch out for fat cats who love people food!
