Low calorie french toast topped with lime juice and powdered sugar. Very light and tasty. Its a good no guilt treat when you haven't made it to your cheat meal yet!
Pancakes with 6 egg whites. A good friend of mine makes pancakes using this recipe with 6 whole eggs and butter and oil instead of unsweetened applesauce. They are delicious. I've adjusted the recipe to make it more "healthy". If anyone has any ideas on how to make it better or just plain hates them please let me know! My feelings won't be hurt and I'm looking for good ideas!
Plain and simple black bean burger patties that hold together pretty well on a griddle.
This is an easy hash brown casserole, and is really great. It's not healthy by any means, but if you stick with a measured half-cup serving, it's not the worst thing for your health.
This is a staple for our family brunches and Thanksgiving / Christmas morning. You can easily make it the night before and then pop it into the oven the next morning. You could easily substitute low fat / fat free ingredients as well, but I've calculated it using full fat ingredients since that's what I had on hand.
My husband likes to eat a mountain man breakfast - but it is far from healthy - so I made up my own version.
This is a slightly modified version of King Aruthur Flour's Morning Glory Muffin, a fabulous breakfast food or snack to add a little fiber and protein when you need it during the day.
I use ALL organic ingredients for this, and highly recommend it. What's the point of baking your own healthy foods at home if they contain pesticides and chemicals?
The substitutions here are as follows:
I used Unsweetened shredded coconut, instead of sweetened, believe me, the recipe has enough sweetness going on with the brown sugar, carrots, apple and apple sauce, it doesn't need more.
I also use pumpkin seeds instead of sunflower seeds or wheat germ, and instead of 2/3 cup vegetable oil I use 1/2 cup apple sauce and 3 tablespoons melted virgin coconut oil.
Finally, weigh, don't use measuring cups for the flour and sugar. King Aurthur always recommends weighing, and that's because measuring cups are inaccurate. A cup of flour should be 4.25 ounces, but when you scoop flour you compact it, and the difference is huge. I get around 5 ounces per cup when scooping, which in this recipe would give me an extra 1/2 flour. That makes the muffins too dense and dry. Always weigh your flour, it's what the best bakers recommend. : )
Very adabtable tu utilize whatever is in your pantry, or to lower the calorie count.
After reading "Born to Run", I started making these pancakes. They are one of our favorites! I love to add cinnamon and either walnuts or pecans.
place all ingredients except eggs in a baking dish. Make two shallow hollows, crack eggs in. Bake at 375 until whites fully cooked and yolks cooked to the consistency of your choice. My personal preference is for a runny yolk, to ensure best mixing of flavours.
you could add cheese if you eat that. also cold lettuce and tomato as a side makes this a great brunch item.
make any necessary adjustments on quantities for your leftovers.
