Despite the fact that Easter has already started and the French toast is a Lenten dessert, we are still in time to eat this typical sweet. In some parts of Spain, this week is one of the most important of the year; both for family gatherings, and for Christian devotion and typical food. French toast and pestiños are quite caloric recipes, which are usually loaded with added sugars. That is why most people who take care of themselves avoid these desserts at all costs.
French toast yes, but healthy
You do not have to stop tasting a typical sweet of a specific date, you just have to make a healthy recipe. On this occasion, neither added sugars, nor honey baths. You will notice that the taste is very similar to the traditional ones and you will feel less guilty when you "sin" in your diet. Logically, it is a caloric dessert, fattening just like the recipe that our grandmothers make. What we are looking for is foods with fewer calories, saturated fat and extra sugars.
Some people know this sweet for being similar to French toast. In this case, we use the extra virgin olive oil to seal the milk and egg mixture.
Ingredients
- 6 slices of sliced bread
- Milk (choose to taste)
- 1 egg
- Cinnamon to taste
- Vanilla
- Liquid sweetener
Preparation
In a small saucepan, heat the milk with the sweetener, cinnamon and vanilla essence. Once everything is well mixed, let it rest in a deep plate.
We beat the egg.
One by one, we dip the bread slices in the milk mixture and then in the egg mixture.
Once well soaked, we give them a "round and round" in the pan so that they are golden brown.
Sprinkle cinnamon to taste, and enjoy!
