Cinnamon French toast

Print Products and services By Mayo Clinic Staff

Dietitian s tip

French toast is typically made by dipping bread in an egg-milk mixture and then frying it until golden brown. This low-fat version uses cinnamon bread, but any type of bread would work. To make this plant based, use an egg substitute.

Number of servings

Serves 2 Low Fat

Ingredients

4 egg whites 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 4 slices cinnamon bread 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 cup maple syrup

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the egg whites, vanilla and nutmeg. Whisk to mix evenly. Dip the bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Place a nonstick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. When a drop of water sizzles as it hits the pan, add the bread. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cook until both sides are golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Place 2 slices of French toast on warmed individual plates. Add 1 teaspoon powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons maple syrup to each. Serve immediately.
