Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole-grain sandwich bread
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 1 splash Cooking spray or butter
- 1 cup Fresh fruit (e.g., berries, banana slices)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron to medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a thin layer of butter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Take one slice of whole-grain bread at a time and dip it into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly but not oversaturating it.
Gently place the coated bread slice onto the preheated waffle iron and close the lid. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp, depending on your waffle iron settings.
Remove the cooked French toast waffle from the waffle iron and repeat the process with the remaining bread slices.
Serve the lighter French toast waffles warm, topped with fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, if desired.
