Would You Like a Spot of Tea?

In honor of a famous English couple's wedding later this week, I have decided to highlight an English dish. Some of you may know it as 'french toast', but the English call it 'eggy bread'. The twist is that my version lacks eggs. No milk either!

Some of you may know that I try my hardest to follow a vegan diet, but I tend to cheat sometimes. This vegan recipe is actually awesome, and it makes me want to stick with the program!

I forgot to take pictures throughout the preparation/cooking, but the end result reminded to take a photo because of how delicious it looked.

Let's take a closer look at that plate...

Did I mention how easy this is? Follow the simple recipe below. Enjoy! :)




Banana French Toast
Adapted from Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr.


1/2 cup oat, almond, or nonfat soy milk (I used almond milk)
1 ripe banana, cut up
1 tablespoon of ground flax seed (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of ground nutmeg
5-7 slices of whole wheat/whole-grain bread

1.     Mix first five ingredients in a blender until smooth, then pour into shallow bowl.

2.     Dip both sides of bread in mixture.

3.     Cook on preheated nonstick griddle until brown on both sides, or on a nonstick baking sheet in a 400-degree oven, turning once, until golden on both sides.

Serve with fresh fruit, powdered sugar, maple syrup, or all of the above. For a drink pairing, try a glass of orange juice. For the adults, add a splash of Skinny Girl Margarita.
