Yummy Low-Fat French Toast

Submitted by gertc96

"Here's a super tasty and yummy low fat French toast recipe. My family loves French toast and this recipe is good for you as well as quick and easy. My mom always fixed French toast for us in the skillet. For those that aren't worrying about weight, you could use 6-8 eggs and regular milk.... We always topped this with powdered sugar when growing up."

I make it this way all the time with one change, I bake it at 400 for about 10 minutes and then flip for a couple more. No need for butter or oil that way. Can make a batch and walk away while cooking which is nice. I use low carb high fiber breads that have 35-45 calorie per slice. Or sometimes use Angelic sprouted 7 grain bread which has 60 calorie per slice and is a great bread. These tips get calorie count low when making it for myself.

I'm with lazyme on the cinnamon & vanilla thing, & in fact, I used a generous measure of both! These are great with the egg substitute, something I don't usually use, but will have to stock from now on! A great recipe that lends itself to easy variations! Thanks for sharing!

Great French Toast! We didn't miss the fat at all. How can you go wrong with cinnamon and vanilla? Thanks, Gert.

We really liked this recipe, and don't miss the fat at all. DH likes his french toast very soaked before cooking, so we doubled the liquid. Other flavor combos would work well here too, like Grand Marnier and OJ, or Amaretto and almond extract. The french toast would also be great with my recipe#242479. Thank you gertc!

This is a family favorite. I don't just serve this for breakfast but also for supper. My family loves breakfast food for supper. I don't use French bread but Texas Toast. The flavor is FANTASTIC!
