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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your waffle iron to medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a thin layer of butter.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Remove the cooked French toast waffle from the waffle iron and repeat the process with the remaining bread slices.
Step 6
Serve the lighter French toast waffles warm, topped with fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, if desired.
