Clean French Toast

My kids were in heaven today when I told them we were having 
French toast for breakfast. 
See I found a clean recipe and well couldn't wait to share it with them.  I was able to whip up a batch in less than 5 minutes.  
Now that is my kind of cooking!!

Clean French Toast


From thegraciouspantry.com (love her site!)

Ingredients:
1/2 cup egg whites
1/2 cup non fat milk OR unsweetened almond milk, OR unsweetened soy milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 -6 slices whole wheat/grain bread (No sugar added)
Maple syrup or honey for topping

Directions:
Combine your egg whites, milk, cinnamon and vanilla in a bowl. Whisk until well blended.
Soak your bread in the mixture until it’s partially saturated (Don’t let it get too soggy or it will be a drag to get it out of the bowl)
Cook in a non-stick pan without any oil. Keep the heat low to medium low so it doesn’t burn. Cook a bit longer than you would regular french toast to be sure the egg gets cooked at the lower temperature.
Plate your food and top with your favorite French toast toppings!

Cinnamon Quinoa Bake

Again another new recipe with Quinoa! This food item is becoming a staple in my house, so much that I now buy it in bulk at Costco.  I received this recipe from a friend and now I love it for my morning breakfast.  I made a huge batch and then I divided it into single serve portions.  Refrigerated what I would need for the week and individually wrapped the portion and froze them.  Now all I need to do next week is take out a portion either before I start my morning workout and it will be defrosted by the time I am ready for breakfast or place in microwave for 30 seconds and voila breakfast is served!!!!



Cinnamon Quinoa Bake



Ingredients...
2 1/2 cups of quinoa cooked and cooled
4 eggs beaten
1/3 cup vanilla soy milk (personally I don't drink soy so I used vanilla almond milk)
1/3 cup maple syrup (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Directions...
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Line an 8 x 8 baking pan - lightly spray cooking spray onto parchment.
2.  Place the quiona in large mixing bowl.  
3.  In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined.  Add maple syrup and whisk.
4. Add egg mixture to cooked and cooled quinoa. Stir with a large spoon to combine.  Pour onto parchment lined baking pan and spread it around to ensure that it is even.
5.  Bake for 20-25 minutes until set and golden.
6. Using parchment, remove bake from pan as soon as possible so that it does not steam.
7. Cool completely and cut into squares, Serve with a dollop of nut butter or garnish with fresh fruit.  

Makes 12 bars
