You (or your kids!) would not believe that this French toast will give you a full serving of vegetable, fruit and whole grains too with very little fat, no refined sugar, and of course, no cholesterol! And it is really thick like it’s supposed to be. If you are lucky, the banana and maple syrup will caramelize for you as you cook it and you’ll get an extra little treat. It is the quickest French toast you can make too! You can have breakfast for dinner and not feel guilty with this recipe.
1 small zucchini
1 banana
1 cup vanilla soy or almond milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup maple syrup
10 slices whole grain bread
Coconut, grapeseed or canola oil for frying
Combine all of the ingredients except the bread and oil in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth.
Heat a griddle and use 1-2 tablespoons oil for each batch you fry.
Soak each slice of bread in the mixture for one minute. Fry on each side until browned.
I was all excited until I saw the banana! What would you recommend as a substitute? I can’t stand bananas – the flavor, the texture or the aroma.
I will have to work on it! The banana is good here because it thickens it and sweetens it. It’s not overpowering.
