My Healthy French Toast Recipe
Here at my house we’ve gotten into a Saturday morning ritual of waking up a bit later, getting in our morning workout and then making one of our favorite breakfasts, French Toast!
You’ll see that all of the ingredients below are Diet Solution approved and completely healthy. How does it taste? Absolutely delicious. And that has been verified by my husband, my in-laws, my parents and several friends that have stayed at our house and enjoyed our Saturday morning ritual with us.
French Toast a la The Diet Solution
Ingredients:
2 slices Sprouted Grain, Spelt or Rice bread (we’ve tried using all of them and they all work well)
2 whole eggs
1 TBSP butter
Maple Syrup or Apple Sauce (no sugar added)
Cinnamon to taste
Directions:
Scramble the 2 eggs in a bowl large enough to fit one slice of bread. Dip the bread and make sure it is coated generously with the egg mixture. Heat a pan (on low to medium) large enough for 1 or 2 slices of bread and add the butter. Once the butter is melted in the pan (if it begins to turn brown, you have the heat up too high) add the bread coated with the egg mixture. Cook the bread on each side for 3-4 minutes covered (I find that covering the pan cooks the egg more evenly but you can cook it uncovered as well). Serve with maple syrup (1 tsp per slice is more than enough) or topped with apple sauce and cinnamon (that’s how I like mine.)
Is this a cheat meal or a meal “off” of my usual healthy eating? Not at all. All of the ingredients are wholesome and natural and fit right into mine (and your) healthy eating plan. If you need or want a bit more protein with your breakfast, you can add a piece of bacon, breakfast sausage or even another egg on the side.
Speaking of “cheat meals”…
Joel Marion thoroughly explains exactly how to incorporate a cheat meal into your healthy weight loss plan in his incredible Cheat Your Way Thin program. I make sure to keep my nutrition library up to date with all of the best programs available and this is definitely one of them.

Isabel,
I have REALLY picky kids and I have a hard time getting them to eat healthy meals…breakfast is the hardest! They love pancakes, cinnamon rolls and biscuits. They won’t touch my SWG bread! I’m going to try the french toast, but who knows? Do you know of a pancake batter recipe that is gluten, wheat-free? And possibly one that doesn’t make the pancakes turn out dark brown?? I’ve got to fool them somehow!
Thanks,
Carrie
Isabel,
How much of the sprouted bread is allowed on the diet? Everyday? More than one piece a day? I really like the taste and don’t want to overeat it.
Rebecca, you just need to be paying attention to your carb servings each day, as well as how your body is reacting to the sprouted bread.
Dear Isabel,
Just a short note to let you know that the Diet Solutions is for my wife Lorraine.
Since she has started, which was only a week ago, on the Quick Start she has already lost 2kgs and is really pleased too with how good her body is feeling.
Kindest Regards,
Lorraine and Robert.
