Ingredients
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 4 slices of whole grain bread, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and maple syrup for serving.
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack the 2 eggs and whisk them until well beaten.
- Add the 1/2 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the eggs. Whisk the mixture until all ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Allow it to heat up for a few minutes.
- While the skillet is heating, dip each slice of whole grain bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
- Once the skillet is hot, place the coated slices of bread onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown.
- Carefully flip the bread slices and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, until they are also golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the cooked French toast from the skillet and place them on a plate. You can keep them warm in a low oven if needed while you finish cooking the remaining slices.
- Serve the Cinnamon Flaxseed French Toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious breakfast!
Tips
- Use day-old bread for the best texture - slightly stale bread absorbs the egg mixture more effectively and creates a crispier result.
- Whisk your egg mixture thoroughly to ensure the flaxseed meal and cinnamon are evenly distributed for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Don't rush the cooking process - medium heat is key to achieving that perfect golden-brown color without burning the toast.
- For extra richness, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to your egg mixture.
- If you want a protein boost, you can replace some milk with Greek yogurt in the egg mixture.
- Keep your cooked French toast warm in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F) while preparing the remaining slices to serve everything hot and fresh.
