Apple Cinnamon French Toast
A healthy, simple, and easy fall-inspired Apple Cinnamon French Toast. A hearty sprouted grain bread spiced with sweetness and cinnamon topped with apples that have been caramelized in coconut oil and a dash of cinnamon. Add a bit of syrup, honey, and/or a drizzle of almond butter and you’ve got yourself a breakfast! Healthy, nutritious, and absolutely delicious!
If you’re anything like me, breakfast food is always a go-to! I could eat breakfast for every single meal of the day and be the happiest person alive. On the other hand, if you’re anything like me, you can’t be bothered by meals (including breakfast) that take a bajillion minutes to prep and make. I’m a simple gal. I don’t need extraordinary ingredients or the fanciest cooking techniques to satisfy my needs, wants, and goals. When it comes to fitness and nutrition, healthy made easy is my mantra and is ALWAYS what I strive for when creating recipes. With that said, if you’ve got 15 minutes in the morning (or at any time of the day, really), I highly suggest you make my high protein and high fiber Apple Cinnamon French Toast.
What you’ll need:
Ezekiel sprouted grain bread - 2 50g slices
Eggs - 2 (1 whole egg plus 1 egg white)
Vanilla protein powder - 1/2 scoop (15g)
Unsweetened oat milk - 1 cup (8oz)
Apples (Honeycrisp is my go-to) - 1/2 to 1 full apple
Coconut oil - 1 tsp
Cinnamon, to taste
Directions:
Whisk together whole egg plus egg white, milk, protein powder, and cinnamon to form your dipping mixture.
Place a frying pan on medium heat.
While your pan is heating, dip each slice of bread into the mixture, making sure to evenly coat both sides.
Place bread into the pan and cook for 2-4 minutes, or until golden brown, on each side.
While the french toast is cooking, chop an apple and coat with cinnamon.
When the french toast is finished cooking, transfer to a plate and add chopped apple to the pan with 1 tsp of coconut oil.
Saute until the apples are cooked to your liking and add on top of the french toast.
Add additional toppings of choice and enjoy!
