Start your weekend off right with this delicious French toast that is simple to prepare and oh-so-tasty. For a variation, try substituting bread with chunky nuts and grains. Serve with sliced fresh fruit.
8 ounces low-fat silken tofu
1/2 cup vanilla soymilk
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch nutmeg
nonstick cooking spray
12 slices whole-wheat bread
1. Purée tofu, soymilk, agave nectar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a blender. Pour tofu mixture into a pie plate.
2. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Dip each slice of bread into the tofu mixture and cook for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
I didn’t know that: Agave (ah-GAH-vay) nectar is most often produced from the sap of blue agaves that grow in Mexico. Agaves are large, spiky plants that resemble cactus, but they are actually succulents similar to aloe vera.
