Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 medium Ripe banana
- 3 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0 Non-stick cooking spray
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey (optional, for drizzling)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth using a fork.
Step 2
Add egg whites, almond milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk everything together until well combined to create the custard mixture.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 4
Dip one slice of bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let it soak for a few seconds on each side.
Step 5
Place the soaked bread slice onto the preheated skillet. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
Step 6
Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning.
Step 7
Remove the French toast from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Repeat the process until all slices are cooked.
Step 8
Serve the French toast warm with fresh berries on top and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, if desired.
