Belated (Almost) Not Fat: Egg-Free French Toast

[Guest guest]

Good Sunday,

 

Being Swiss I have an excuse to send in Grogan today. For us Sunday is

the last day of the week; we start the week on Monday...

 

Here, I'll give you something to giggle about me: This past week I went

to the library to get " The (Almost) No Fat Cookbook " . Not only did they

not carry this book, but none of her other books either. An extensive

search showed that in the Denver area, in a 2 hour radius, there where

only 2 copies available. It would take them a week to get the book to my

library, and I finally decided that I didn't have the time to drive and

spend 2 hours on the road. (I nearly went out to buy the book later...)

 

This morning, ready to go to bed, I looked at a bookshelf I don't

frequently use. (Ellen, you are absolutely right, a cookbook inventory

is a must): In my bookshelf, right in front of my eyes stood the

following two books:

- The (Almost) No Fat Cookbook and - The (Almost) No Fat Holiday

Cookbook, by Grogan.

 

Still shaking my head, I know this 'Egg-Free French Toast' recipe comes

to late for today's brunch, maybe someone will enjoy it next weekend....

 

Encouraging everyone to create a cookbook inventory, with my warmest

regards,

Eruna

Recipe By : Bryanna Clark Grogan, The (Almost) No Fat Cookbook, p 69

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : *No Fat Cookbook

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

6 slices whole wheat bread

1 cup reduced-fat soymilk

2 tablespoons flour

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes

1 teaspoon sugar

or sweetener of your choice

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 pinch nutmeg

 

You won’t miss all the butter and eggs usually associated with this

breakfast dish — it’s delicious!

 

Makes 6 slices of toast

 

Have the bread ready. Blend or whisk together all the other ingredients

in a shallow bowl. Dip the bread slices into this mixture, and cook

either on a non-stick griddle until browned on both sides, or on a

greased cookie sheet in a 400 degrees F oven until golden on both sides,

turning once. For an interesting change of pace, bake the French toast

in a non-stick waffle iron until golden—brown.

 

Serve with maple syrup or your favorite topping.

 

Variation: Banana French Toast

Omit 1/2 cup soymilk and the flour, and blend the remaining ingredients

with 1 ripe banana.
