I am a HUGE breakfast advocate. It's really the most versatile, delicious, and important meal out there.... but second breakfast comes pretty darn close ;)
I also think that having a good, filling and balanced breakfast is as important as eating it at all!! Lots of recipes I see out there for healthy and hearty breakfasts leave something to be desired....
Why should healthy mean it can't be delicious!! Take my Peanut Butter Mousse and Toffee Crunch Peanut Butter Stuffed French Toast for example.... :)
This was totally delicious, satisfying, and didn't leave me sugar coma'd for the rest of the day.
What You'll Need:
For the Peanut Butter Mousse Filling:
1/4-1/3 cup Greek Yogurt
Pinch salt
1-2 TBSP Peanut Butter or Peanut Flour
Sweetener to taste (I like Splenda)
Extra nut butter/toasted nuts (optional) I used my Pecan Toffee Crunch Protein Peanut Butter (I'll do a post on it soon ;) )
2-4 pieces of whole wheat light bread
1 egg
cinnamon
splash of milk (I like Silk Cashew Unsweetened)
Preheat a frying pan!
Mix all ingredients for the mousse filling VERY well. Set aside.
Add egg, cinnamon, and milk to a bowl and whisk until well combined. Pile peanut butter mouse on one piece of the bread. Smear on extra peanut butter and toasted nuts if desired. Place the other piece of toast overtop. (Think PB Mousse Sandwich ;) )
Dip your sandwich into the egg mixture and coat both sides! Spray some nonstick spray on your nice hot frying pan and put your egg-dipped sandwich right in there. Cook 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook until the other side is done!
You should hear a good sizzle when you lay it on the pan :)
Voila! Serve with butter, syrup, whip cream, or whatever your heart desires! I stuck with sugar free syrup this time.... I was so hungry I couldn't wait!!
I love skinnifying decadent recipes for everyday use! I don't think that just because something is good for you it has to be boring, bland, or basic!
You can play around with healthy alternatives and have delicious things like Pasta Alfredo Bakes, Stuffed French Toast, Meatloaf Sandwiches, Cinnamon Streusel Cake, and Funfetti Cake every day of the week (and twice on Thursdays)!! Happy Breakfasting!
