I am a huge fan of Powercake's Blog (http://powercakes.net). One of the things I love about her is she always talks about "treat" meals rather than "cheat" meals so this is the perfect option for a big Sunday morning "treat" Power breakfast! Inspired by Kasey at Powercakes! Hope you like it!
Pumpkin Power Bread French Toast
For the Power Bread...
Ingredients:
Dry
- Vanilla Protein Powder, 1 cup (around 4 scoops)
- Coconut flour, 1/4 cup
- Baking soda, 1 tsp.
- Baking Powder, 1 tsp.
- Cinnamon, 1 tbs.
- Cloves, 2 tsp.
- Ginger, 2 tsp.
- Raisins, 1/4 cup
- Dash of Salt
Wet
- Vanilla, 2 tsp.
- Eggs, 2 whole
- Egg whites, 4
- Pumpkin puree, 3/4 cup
Directions: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add in your wet ingredients. Blend the mix with a hand mixture for 2-3 minutes. Pour the batter into a loaf pan sprayed with olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes. Times may vary slightly. Let cool, slice, and enjoy, or....make your French Toast!
For the French Toast:
Ingredients:
- 1 egg white
- Splash of unsweetened Almond Breeze (under a tbs.)
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp. vanilla
- Your pumpkin bread
Directions: Once your loaf has cooled, slice the bread into thin slices (the thinner the slices, the better it will cook). Whisk together the egg, Almond Breeze, cinnamon, and vanilla in a shallow dish or plate. Spray a skillet with olive oil spray and turn to medium high heat. When the spray starts to melt a bit, dip your bread into the egg mixture to cover both sides and place on the skillet. Flip the bread when the pan starts to sizzle a bit. When the egg mixture starts to brown on both sides your French toast is done! Serve with banana slices and a drizzle of peanut flour thinned out with water.
