Pumpkin French Toast

Submitted by Angela, ECEC

Ingredients:

8 slices low-calorie 100% whole wheat bread
4 extra large eggs
3-4 egg whites
1/2-3/4 c. pumpkin
2 TBS ground flaxseed meal
1 TBS butter
Water
Cinnamon
Nutmeg

Directions

Mix eggs, egg whites, pumpkin, and flaxseed.  Add spices as desired.  Add large plash of water to make eggs cook up fluffier, Spray large griddle, preheat, then grease w/ 1/2 TBS butter, reserving other 1/2 TBS to re-grease if needed. Soak bread in mixture (about 30 seconds each side) and cook approximately two minutes on each side, on low-medium heat.  Serve with all-natural syrup, agave nectar, etc. and/or sliced fruit. I recommend heated, crushed mangos (which can be found in the freezer section).

*Any leftover toast can be frozen for quick re-heating during the week!  Extra pumpkin can be frozen, as well, and freezes nicely in ice-cube trays (each cube makes about 1 TBP).
