Pumpkin Stuffed French Toast
The tablespoon of reduced-fat cream cheese stays within THM:E fat guidelines and adds a nice bit of creaminess to this stuffed French toast. You'd be surprised how far a tablespoon goes! | THM:E, low fat, sugar free
Author: Briana Thomas
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- 2 slices sprouted bread*
- -
- 1 T. reduced-fat cream cheese
- -
- 2 T. plain canned pumpkin puree
- ¾ tsp. THM Super Sweet Blend
- ¼ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- Dash salt
- -
- 2 T. egg whites
- 2 T. unsweetened almond milk
- Dash vanilla extract
- -
- Cooking spray
- Additional pumpkin pie spice
- Sugar-free maple syrup and/or sugar-free chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Spread the cream cheese on one slice of bread.
- Mix the pumpkin, Super Sweet Blend, pumpkin pie spice, and salt together and spread over the cream cheese. Top with the other slice of bread to make a sandwich.
- Whisk the egg whites, almond milk, and vanilla in a bowl.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. When it is hot, dip the sandwich in the egg mixture for a few seconds on each side. Spray the pan with a light coating of cooking spray and fry the French toast for a few minutes on each side until toasted. (I cover it with a lid while frying to make sure it heats all the way through.) Sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice on the stuffed French toast and serve with sugar-free maple syrup and/or sugar-free chocolate syrup.
Notes
*I used Aldi’s Simply Nature Sprouted 7 Grain Bread, but you can use your favorite THM:E bread! I prefer thin slices for stuffed French toast.
I recommend adding a little protein with this stuffed French toast to hold you over until your next meal. 2 slices of the sprouted bread I was using contains 6g protein, but adding a side of low-fat Greek yogurt or a scoop of collagen to your coffee or tea would be ideal.
Store-bought Splenda-sweetened syrup can be used on occasion, or you can make your own maple-flavored syrup. Check out pg. 416 of Necessary Food for my favorite homemade recipe.
Hershey's sugar-free syrup is sweetened mostly with erythritol!
