Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole wheat bread
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 as needed Cooking spray (or a small amount of oil)
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries or sliced fruit (optional, for topping)
- 1 tablespoon Low-calorie syrup or honey (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the cooking surface with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Dip one slice of whole wheat bread into the yogurt-egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly and thoroughly coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off before placing the bread on the heated skillet.
Cook the bread slice for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
Serve the French toast warm, topped with fresh berries or sliced fruit if desired. Drizzle with low-calorie syrup or honey for added sweetness, if preferred.
Enjoy your low-calorie French toast as a healthy and satisfying breakfast or brunch option!
