Chocolate French Toast

Submitted by Kree

"If you ask me, there's nothing better than chocolate for breakfast! This scrumptious recipe comes from Hersheys, although as usual I added my own notes about how to make it low-fat and dairy-free. I would definitely recommend including the optional cinnamon."

ingredients

• 3 eggs (or 3/4 cup Egg Beaters to make this low-fat)
• 3⁄4 cup milk (or soy milk to make it dairy-free)
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons hershey's cocoa powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

directions

1. Beat eggs, milk, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, salt and cinnamon, if desired, in large bowl until smooth.

THere is way more dip than is needed for this amount of bread. I used leftover garlic bread and it was surprisingly delicious!

Made for a nice breakfast. I used double the soaking liquid in order to get the right ratio for the bread. Do follow the directions and cook these over medium low, or they will burn. I think putting some chocolate chips on them after they have been flipped would be a good touch, and would make them nice and chocolate-y and sweet.

Just tried this, and liked it, but my dense whole wheat bread overpowered the flavor. I will definitely try this again with a lighter bread. Also, I found the chocolate flavor very mild, so for personal preference, I plan to try doubling the cocoa. My husband enjoyed cream cheese on his, and I enjoyed jam on mine. Thanks for posting - novel way to get my vitamin "C" fix first thing in the morning ;-)

Wonderful! Neither of my Grandsons will eat nor come close to an egg. Sneaky old MawMaw loves to add these to their diets at least occasionally
