INGREDIENT NOTES:

Bread:

  • Opt to use low-calorie bread or opt to use whole wheat bread. Light bread makes the points low. A bit of dry bread is absorbed better.

Eggs:

  • Eggs assist in enriching the batter and its protein content. One egg and two egg whites will help you reduce points.

Milk:

  • American almond milk has low calories. Or it can be oat/skim milk. There is only one thing to avoid & it is the flavored ones.

Vanilla & Cinnamon:

  • They impart a sweet, warm odour & taste. Do not omit them because they will make the recipe special.

Cooking Spray:

  • Use a spray of non-stick/a few drops of olive oil. This keeps your toast crispy and also prevents it from sticking up.

FAQs:

May I make this without dairy?
