Sprouted Cinnamon Raisin French Toast

As a kid my favorite breakfast was french toast. Whether I was on a special outing to the diner or at home with my mom’s leftover Friday night challah, french toast was my pick. As I got older and more aware of what I was actually eating I no longer went for the french toast when I was out to eat. But as with any dish, there is always a healthy alternative. So I was determined to figure out how to make french toast healthy!Well for one, french toast consists of bread, milk, eggs and sugar….So by looking at those raw ingredients I was able to swap out most of them for healthy ones. But I was concerned it wouldn’t have that real feel of french  toast. Whenever I feel that way I turn to the men in my house to try it out. I got the thumbs up so I knew I had to share it.

I used Bai5 Lemon to give it a nice tang and some sweetness, I also created an almond coconut lemon glaze to dip your french toast in.  It’s a great alternative to maple syrup but totally optional. Simple swaps like using almond milk and ezkiel bread added a lot more nutrients to this dish. What was your favorite breakfast as a kid?Recipe
