I modified this recipe by doing a raspberry syrup and swapping out some full fat items for reduced fat items. I also cut back the sugar in order to make it my own. Oh yeah, we only use whole wheat bread at this house. It is still divine! When I calculated the nutrition specs it is also pretty impressive! To get roughly one quarter of your calories and one quarter of your fat in a meal is awesome, plus it has tons of fiber and whole grains! To make this more filling for men or even us active hungry chicks I would add some fruit and low fat yogurt to make a complete meal. Men can even have a serving and a half in addition to the fruit and yogurt. Enjoy!
Raspberry Syrup:
¼ cup sugar
2 TBS cornstarch
1 to 1 1/2 cups water (depends if you like it thick or runny)
2 cups frozen raspberries, thawed
Cream Cheese French Toast:
1 package reduced fat cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
12 slices whole wheat bread
2 eggs
1 cup fat free milk
Syrup: combine sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Whisk in water until smooth. Add raspberries. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
French Toast: beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread over six slices of bread. Top with remaining bread. In a shallow bowl, mix egg and milk together. Dip both sides of bread into mixture and allow mixture to drip off a little. Coat a large skillet/griddle with cooking spray and toast both sides of bread. Cut in half and serve with raspberry syrup. Makes 6 servings.
