Equipment
- Chef's Knife
- Frying Pan
- Wooden Spoon
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup liquid egg whites
- 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- to taste Stevia or other no-calorie sweetener
- pinch salt
- 4 pieces Sara Lee Delightful Whole Wheat Bread or your favorite
- 1/4 cup PB2 or any powdered peanut butter or peanut flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free strawberry jam
Instructions
- In a large flat baking dish, stir together the liquid egg whites, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, stevia, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything until well combined.
- Soak the slices of whole wheat bread in the egg mixture, allowing them to absorb the flavors. Make sure to flip them so both sides are soaked. Let them sit for about 10 to 15 minutes per side for optimal absorption.
- While the bread is soaking, spray a large pan or griddle with cooking spray and heat it on medium. This will create a non-stick surface for cooking.
- Once heated, carefully place the soaked slices of bread onto the pan. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they are lightly golden and have a crispy exterior. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- As the French toast cooks, combine the PB2, stevia, and an additional almond milk in a bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Once the slices are cooked, remove them from the pan and place them on a plate. Take one slice and spread a generous amount of the PB2 mixture on top.
- Next, add a tablespoon of strawberry jam on top of the peanut butter mixture, and then place another slice of bread on top to create your sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining slices.
- Serve your Healthy Stuffed French Toast warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with maple syrup. Enjoy this delightful breakfast with your loved ones!
