PBJ French Toast

Ingredients

  • 8 slices whole grain bread
  • ½ cup egg substitute (or 2 large eggs)
  • ½ cup reduced-fat milk
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons peanut butter, divided
  • 4 tablespoons grape jelly, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (or more to taste)
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup, divided

Steps

    1. Toast 4 slices of bread. Whisk eggs and milk in medium bowl until well blended. Toast remaining bread slices.
    2. Melt butter in large, nonstick sauté pan on medium-high 1–2 minutes. Spread 1 tablespoon peanut butter each on 4 slices bread, then spread 1 tablespoon jelly each on remaining 4 slices; assemble sandwiches.
    3. Dip 2 sandwiches into egg mixture (coating both sides evenly); letting excess mixture drip off. Place sandwiches in pan; cook 1 minute on each side or until golden. Repeat with remaining 2 sandwiches. Cut each sandwich in half and sprinkle with cinnamon. Top with maple syrup and serve.

  • 2 bananas
  • 2 cups whole frozen strawberries, no sugar added

Steps

Serving Suggestions

  • Complete your meal with brown-and-serve sausages and fresh fruit.
