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!

Clean Eating Pancakes

Had a plan all in place for my kids' breakfast this morning (also my morning snack).  I was going to make them homestyle waffles (clean eating version of course) but they had their minds set on PANCAKES!! Well what my children didn't know is that mommy forgot to get the ingredients for pancakes the last time I was out at the grocery store.  I make my pancakes from scratch anymore.  I am so done with the boxed varieties.  Most have too many other non-clean ingredients and it is less expensive to make your own batter. 

Oh what to do, what to do...google search for a clean pancake recipe  using the ingredients you DO have on hand.  Voila - recipe found, made, and loved by ALL!! 

Clean Eating Pancakes




Ingredients...
1 1/2 cups oat flour (or flour of your choice)
1 tablespoon demerara
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoon cinnamon 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 egg whites
1 - 1 1/2 cups almond milk (or milk of your choice)

Directions...
Preheat griddle to medium heat.
Mix oat flour, demerara, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
Whisk together egg whites, vanilla extract, and milk.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix together.
Spray griddle with non-stick butter spray.
Scoop batter onto griddle. Cook 3-5 minutes per side.

Makes 12-14 pancakes.

I had mine with peanut butter and blueberries.  My kids had theirs with pure maple syrup and blueberries.  I love love love knowing I am providing myself and my kids with nutritious foods.  

So if you try this recipe, please let me know your thoughts.
