Number of Servings: 1

Ingredients

    - 1/4 cup egg beaters
    - 1/8 cup skim milk
    - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    - non-stick cooking spray
    - 2 pieces whole wheat bread

Directions

Heat a skillet sprayed with cooking spray over medium-high heat.

In a shallow bowl/dish, combine the first four ingredients. Mix together well.

Quickly dip the first piece of bread flat in the bowl, letting it soak up the liquid, but not so much that it falls apart. Do this on both sides. Put the bread on the skillet, cooking it on both sides until browned. Repeat this process with the next piece of bread.

Put on a plate and eat! It tastes extra great topped with one of the following: fresh fruit, pure maple syrup, powdered sugar, or whipped cream.

Makes 2 pieces of french toast, or 1 serving.

    I made a whole loaf of bread with this recipe. I had 2 slices for breakfast and froze the rest so now I can just grab 2 slices for breakfast anytime. - 6/7/09

    I have been making my french toast like this for a while, I use light bread, 2 egg whites, skim milk, almond extact and pumpkin pie spice. I also lightly toast my bread b4 I soak it in the milk mixture and I make a healthy glaze with berries, light yogurt,and a tsp of honey. It always tastes great. - 1/24/09

    very yummy! Loved it!

    Some people don't know what they're talking about, the wheat bread is up to the consumer.

    I buy Sarah Lee's Whole Grain Delight Wheat Bread (45 calories a slice!)

    Great recipe!

    I used the 45 calorie per slice Sara lee bread, a regular egg, sliced two strawberries and placed the strawberries on each slice of bread, then topped it all off with 1 tb of pure maple syrup. I didnt use much of the mixture--didnt want soggy bread. I will definitely be making this again- I loved it - 7/13/09

    For those of you who are confused on the whole wheat bread, there a lot of whole wheat light breads where they are no more then 120 calories for two slices... this is an awesome recipe. I love french toast! - 1/14/09

    Great! I used a whole egg and almond milk, since that's what I had on hand. I also had fun using up some leftover bread I had frozen after the holidays. The calories were a little higher, but this recipe was great with one slice each of Gingerbread Loaf and White Chocolate Cranberry Bread! - 1/24/09

    My version of this recipe used 1 egg and 2 pieces of oat bran bread with only 70 calories per slice so my totals were 229 calories, 7 fat , 26 carb, and 12 proteins. I also had 2 tsp powder sugar for only 19 calories (much better than syrup). Yummy! - 4/5/08

    To answer the question about whole wheat bread and the calories. It depends on your bread. I buy Weight Watchers whole wheat bread and it's 90 calories for 2 slices....also make sure your bread is whole wheat bread and not just wheat bread.

    :) Hope this helps.

    Sounds great. For what it's worth, if you ever question the nutritional breakdown it's simple to check. You just have to click on the "ingredients details" in the nutrition box and it will tell you what the user input to create the recipe. I actually use Nature's Own light which is 40 cal per slice. - 7/8/08
