Ingredients
 
 

For the French Toast:

  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup low fat milk
  • 1/2 tbsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tbsp. sweetener
  • 4 slices whole-wheat bread
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • Maple syrup

For the Cinnamon Apple Garnish:

  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 1 apple - cored, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 tbsp. sweetener
  • 1/2 tbsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1 tbsp. water

Instructions
 

Apple Garnish:

French Toast:

  • Add the eggs, low fat milk, cinnamon and sweetener to a bowl. Mix using a fork.
  • Grease a non-stick pan with a little butter (you can use paper towel so you don't add too much butter) and heat it over medium heat.
  • Dip one bread slice into the mixture and turn it over, until it absorbs the liquid.
  • Place the bread slice in the pan and cook for about 2 minutes on each side (depending on the desired doneness and the thickness of the bread slices).
  • Repeat with the other bread slices.
  • Serve with the apple garnish and maple syrup.

Notes

  • For the sweetener I used maple syrup, but you can pick whatever sweetener you like best.
