This is a great recipe for brunch and breakfast. I like to use Trader Joe’s cinnamon swirl bread to give it added cinnamon flavor because I’m a cinnamon addict! Greek yogurt is the perfect medium for dipping and strawberries are perfect for topping. Even though I don’t eat bacon that often, there is nothing like the real thing and is perfectly fine to eat every once in awhile. It tastes so yum!
Pumpkin Waffled French Toast
Serves 4-5
Ingredients
- 1/2 loaf TJ’s Cinnamon Swirl Bread (about 6-7 slices) or your favorite french toast bread
- 1 cup vanilla non-fat half-n-half (TJ’s brand) or you could use plain and add some vanilla extract
- 1/3 heaping cup of canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup egg substitute
- 3 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Various sides: I chose an egg with a sprinkling of cheese, good ol’ bacon, greek yogurt for dipping and strawberries.
Simply place all the ingredients into a pan and mix together well. Soak each bread slice in the mixture and place onto a pre-heated waffle iron on the highest setting, sprayed with cooking spray.
When each one is done and golden, place on a sheet rack on top of a cookie sheet, and place in a 200 degree oven to keep warm.
I actually can’t wait to have this for breakfast again, slathered with some peanut butter maybe?!
