Banana-Flax French Toast

This latest recipe is an alternative to my existing French Toast recipe.  Both are yummy, and while the first one offers the health benefits of nutritional yeast flakes (maybe I should put that in its title!), this one offers flax seed.  Good for you French toast?  You betcha!  See below for the easy to make batter.


Banana-Flax French Toast

 Ingredients:

 14-16 thick slices of your favorite bread
2 cups soy milk
1 banana, pureed or mashed well
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 Tbs. ground flax seed

Canola oil for frying

Directions:

 In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy milk, banana, cinnamon and flax seed.  You really don't want any large lumps of banana, so make sure it's mashed well before whisking.  Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium heat.  When hot, dredge bread slices into the batter and add to the pan.  Cook on each side three to five minutes, or until they are golden brown.  Repeat with the oil until the batter is used up.  Serve with your favorite syrup.  Good!  Feeds five hungry vegans.  Any extras can be frozen and reheated in the microwave.

    I've been thinking about French toast a lot these last couple days for some reason. This sounds delicious.

    I will pretend you did not imitate Sarah Palin and instead focus on how I could probably eat all five servings of this recipe, plus the supposed extras, in one sitting.

      Did I say you should freeze those extras? You betcha, I did!

    This recipe sounds incredible! Banana and cinnamon are two of my favorite flavors, they mix so well. I also love flax for it's flavor and nutritional benefits. French toast is one of my favorite breakfasts but I never get to eat it anymore... that will definitely change with this recipe!

    I've been putting flax into all my baked goods, lately. Sure can't hurt. :)

    This looks amazing! I add flax to a lot of our meals but I don't tell the kids.

      Thanks, Diane! I agree that it's easier to sneak in some of those healthy things, if they don't know too much about it. :-)

    hehe that's exactly how I make french toast too! We don't have it too often (we don't often eat bread really either) but I sure so enjoy french toast when we do have it :-)

      Sandy, we hardly ever eat French toast, and I really don't know why, since we all love it! :-)
