Perfect French Toast - simple ingredients for a delicious quick and easy breakfast. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Perfect<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have I mentioned how much I love breakfast?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is definitely my most favourite meal of the day and two of my favourite things to have are my American Style Pancakes<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and this delicious French Toast. Basically, anything I can drizzle with Maple Syrup<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever since I moved to Canada I love that stuff - oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, whatever I can drizzle it on I will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I usually pick up a big 1-litre jug of the Kirkland Signature Canadian Maple Syrup<\/a><\/span><\/strong> whenever we go to Costco, which is usually a once a month <\/span>occurrence, to stock up on various other items. I love that place. But why is it, then no matter how little you actually go in there for, you always, always come out with a full shopping carts worth. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing I will say is to make sure whatever maple syrup you use is 100% pure, there are some nasty ones out there that are mixed with other ingredients and those just do not compare in any way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When starting on Slimming Eats<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, I was determined to make a French Toast recipe that I could enjoy, without busting my dailys and these really are scrumptious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great thing about French Toast is that when it soaks in all the egg mixture it expands in size, making that measly 60g of whole wheat bread a lot more filling too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No complicated ingredients need to be added to this recipe, just simple bread, eggs, a little milk (you can use a dairy-free alternative), vanilla extract, a pinch of cinnamon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For sweetening, as per usual with most of my cake recipes. I use Sukrin: 1<\/a><\/span> <\/strong>which is a great natural tasting sweetener that can be ordered on can be ordered on Amazon<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span> I have tried many different types of sweetener in the past trying to find one that is natural and tastes natural and I think this is it. I usually just use some honey or maple syrup, but it's nice to know I can now use this and reduce even further. Instead of Sukrin, you can use any sweetener of choice. This is just my preferred option because of the now aftertaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

In this recipe, however, we are only using 1-2 teaspoon depending on your sweetness level, which is less than a tablespoon, so we don't need to worry about that at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could totally skip the maple syrup for drizzling over the top, but it really feels decadent along with the plain Greek yoghurt and mixed berries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also give a teeny little dusting of icing sugar, so teeny that it will be negligible. It's purely just because it makes this French Toast look pretty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
