INGREDIENTS
- 2 slices wholegrain bread
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp milk or milk alternative
- 1 tsp vanilla
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- canola spray
- 1C frozen raspberries
- 2 tsp honey, rice malt syrup or sweetener of your choice
METHOD
- Prepare the raspberry coulis by placing the raspberries, 1 tbsp water and honey/sweetener in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and cooking for approximately 10 minutes or until mixture thickens and forms a sauce-like consistency.
- Meanwhile combine egg, milk and salt and soak each slice of bread in mixture. Make sure you turn the bread over so it soaks through with the egg mixture.
- Heat medium fry pan over medium heat and spray with canola oil, once it heats up add soaked bread. Cook for 2 minutes each side or until golden.
- Remove toast from pan and sprinkle with cinnamon. Top with raspberry coulis. Serve immediately.
