Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup reduced fat milk
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp brown sugar, divided
  • 4 Weet-Bix™, roughly crushed
  • 4 slices wholemeal bread
  • ¼ cup sliced banana
  • ¼ cup sliced pear
  • ¼ cup fresh blueberries

Other toppings

  • Reduced fat yoghurt, optional

Method:

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla and 1 tsp sugar. Combine crushed Weet-Bix and remaining sugar in a separate shallow dish.
  2. Dip bread slices in egg mixture, then dredge both sides in Weet-Bix mixture.
  3. Preheat a large skillet or griddle to medium, and coat lightly with oil spray or butter. Place coated bread onto the skillet and cook for 2 - 3 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  4. Spray uncooked side with a bit more oil, flip, and cook a further 2 minutes. Cook in batches if necessary.
  5. Serve crumbed French toast warm topped with sliced fruit. Other toppings could include yoghurt, and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey (optional).
