Our cinnamon-flavored French toast sticks come with a creamy yogurt sauce for dunking. Instead of dipping into syrup alone, we use a much smaller amount of maple and stir it into Greek yogurt. The reduced-calorie sandwich bread is very soft and tender. To make French toast sticks that hold up, you need to make sure to do two things: Lightly toast the bread first, until it’s a bit crusty, and dip it quickly in the milk-egg mixture (instead of soaking it).
Ingredients
Cooking spray
4 spray(s)
Plain fat free Greek yogurt
1 cup(s)
Maple syrup
2 Tbsp
Vanilla extract
1.5 tsp
2% reduced fat milk
1 cup(s)
Ground cinnamon
1 tsp
Egg(s)
2 item(s), large
Reduced-calorie wheat bread
8 slice(s)
Powdered sugar (confectioner's)
2 tsp
Instructions
1
In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, maple syrup, and ½ tsp of the vanilla; set aside until ready to serve.
2
In a pie plate or shallow bowl, whisk together the milk, cinnamon, eggs, and remaining 1 tsp vanilla. Place the milk-egg mixture near the stovetop. Cut each toast slice crosswise into 3 strips; place the toast strips near the stovetop.
3
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat the pan over medium. Quickly dip each toast strip in the milk-egg mixture, turning to coat both sides; immediately place in the skillet. Arrange about half of the pieces in the skillet so there’s room between the pieces. Cook until lightly browned and set, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining toast strips and milk-egg mixture. Sprinkle the French toast sticks with powdered sugar; serve with the yogurt sauce.
