French Toast
Makes 6 slices
This cholesterol-free French toast tastes great and adds beneficial soy and whole wheat to your diet.
- 1 cup fortified plain or vanilla soymilk
- 1/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 slices whole-grain bread
- 1 vegetable oil spray
Combine soymilk, flour, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Pour into a flat dish. Soak bread slices in batter until soft but not soggy. The amount of time this takes will vary depending on the bread used.
Cook in a vegetable oil sprayed non-stick skillet until first side is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn carefully with a spatula and cook second side until brown, about 3 minutes.
