BANANA NUT FRENCH TOAST {bulking version}

My husband wanted a version of my banana nut french toast too. So, I whipped him up some with his whey protein and bread and taa daa! A MAN VERSION of banana nut french toast was born!



BANANA NUT FRENCH TOAST {bulking version}
Servings: 1

Ingredients
2 Slices 100% Whole Wheat Bread
1 scoop of BSN Whey Protein Syntha-6 Banana
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup egg whites
1 TBS Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
1 TBS walnuts, finely chopped

Directions
1. Whip egg whites, vanilla, cinnamon, and whey protein together in a blender till smooth and there are no lumps left over. Dip whole wheat bread into mixture and cook on a greased skillet {I used Pam Olive Oil Cooking Spray} on medium heat. If you have any egg mixture left over, I like to pour the rest of it over the cooking toast. It will soak into the bread while it cooks.

2. While bread is cooking, top with Splenda brown sugar and walnuts. Once side is golden brown, flip over and cook opposite side. If you have greased your skillet, they shouldn't stick too bad. If they do stick, it's okay. It's because of the brown sugar. Just be patient and gradually lift off skillet with spatula.



TIP
Serve with sugar-free syrup, cinnamon and Splenda, spray butter or eat plain. The nutrition facts do not include your choice of topping, so don't forget to factor that in when you eat them.

BANANA NUT FRENCH TOAST {lean version}

I love the smell of banana bread baking in the oven. I was craving banana bread and decided to try making some banana nut french toast to help curb my craving. And you know what? It worked and tastes amazing! You've gotta try this!



BANANA NUT FRENCH TOAST {lean version}
Servings: 2

Ingredients
1/2 cup egg whites
1 scoop Dymatize Whey Elite Isolate Smooth Banana
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
4 slices of 45 Calorie 100% Whole Wheat Sara Lee Bread
1 tsp Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
1 tsp walnuts, finely chopped

Directions
1. Whip your egg whites, whey protein, vanilla, and cinnamon in a blender till smooth and there are no lumps are left over. Dip your bread into mixture and place on a greased {I used Pam Olive Oil cooking spray} skillet over medium heat. You may have some egg mixture left over. I like to pour it on top of the cooking bread. It'll soak in while they're cooking {waste not, want not!}

2. While toast is cooking, top with brown sugar and walnuts. Once the first side is golden brown, flip over and cook till brown on opposite side. If you greased your skillet well, they shouldn't stick to the pan too badly. If they do, it's okay, that's totally normal since you're cooking the brown sugar.

* Serve with Sugar Free syrup or eat plain. I like to top mine with a little extra cinnamon. The nutrition Facts do not include a topping. Don't forget to add that into your meal.
