Healthy French Toast Recipe: Chia Cinnamon French Toast
Cinnamon Chia French Toast
This Cinnamon Chia French Toast is clean, healthy, and absolutely DELICIOUS! It's loaded in fiber, a good source of protein, and keeps you full for hours. You're going to LOVE this crowd-pleasing recipe! (Also great for meal prep.)
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp Chia Seeds, ground
- 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1/2 Tbsp Agave Nectar (can sub maple syrup or honey if desired)
- 1/2 to 1 tsp Cinnamon (to taste preference)
- 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 6 slices Ezekiel Bread (or other refrigerated sprouted grain bread of choice)
- 2 Tbsp Butter (can sub a dairy-free butter or light tasting olive oil)
- Toppings of choice: maple syrup, fruit and/or berries, almonds or pecans, hemp seeds, coconut cream, etc.
Instructions
- If you're not starting with ground chia seeds, you'll need to grind your chia seeds. To do this, place them in your blender for just 1-2 seconds. DO NOT leave them in long, as this is a very small amount of seeds.
- Add ground chia seeds, almond milk, agave, cinnamon, and vanilla to a blender, and blend all ingredients until well combined. Allow mixture to sit in refrigerator for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, make sure your bread is thawed.
- In a large skillet, melt 1 Tbsp of butter over medium heat. It should be the slightest bit sizzling when ready. Meanwhile, pour your chia batter into a shallow bowl large enough to fit a slice of bread.
- Once butter is heated, quickly dip each side of a slice of Ezekiel bread into the batter, then place in heated butter. Repeat until you have 3 slices of toast in your skillet at once. (If your skillet is too small to fit 3 slices of bread, you'll need to divide the butter up evenly depending on how many batches you'll need to make - in this recipe, a batch is 3 slices of toast.)
- Allow to cook on the first side without touching the toast. Leave for about 3 minutes or so until you can easily flip the toast without losing the batter. This recipe is best when cooked slowly. When ready, flip toast and repeat on opposite side.
- Remove from skillet, and repeat steps 4-5 until all bread is cooked. (For us, this was 2 batches of 3 slices of toast each.)
- Place a serving of toast on a plate, and top with your desired toppings. Try to avoid powdered sugar, chocolate spreads, traditional whipped cream, etc.
Notes
